Trump was responding to news that the prosecution had mishandled crucial evidence in his Florida case
Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social yesterday to call for the arrest of Jack Smith, the prosecutor in his classified documents trial in Florida, after it emerged that the classified documents in question had themselves been mishandled by the prosecution.
Yesterday Infowars reported that Prosecutor Smith’s team was forced to make a new filing with Judge Aileen Cannon on Friday, making her aware of the fact that the order of the documents in the boxes seized from Mar-a-Lago had been altered.
The team also admitted that it had misled the court for some time by maintaining that the order of the documents had remained unchanged.
“Since the boxes were seized and stored, appropriate personnel have had access to the boxes for several reasons, including to comply with orders issued by this Court in the civil proceedings noted above, for investigative purposes, and to facilitate the defendants’ review of the boxes,” Smith’s team wrote in the new court filing.
“There are some boxes where the order of items within that box is not the same as in the associated scans.”
Legal experts have already weighed in and said the filing could spell disaster for the prosecution.
Defense attorney Tim Parlatore, who worked on Trump’s team at an earlier stage of the documents case, claimed “this admission is stunning on multiple levels.”
“For prosecutors who are trying to prove that the defendants knowingly possessed these documents to then destroy the evidence that would undermine that claim is a very serious violation,” he said.
The strict chronology of the documents is likely to play an important role in President Trump’s defense. He will claim that the documents remained in chronological order after they had been shipped to him from Virginia, and that this is evidence that he did not consult them once they were in his possession at Mar-a-Lago.
