Biden regime Special Counsel Jack Smith has acknowledged that the order of classified documents related to a case involving former President Donald Trump may have been altered after being seized by the FBI. The admission came as a response to a plea by the legal team of one of Trump’s co-defendants for a case delay due to complications in pinpointing the roots of certain documents. The FBI had seized 33 boxes of documents during a search at Mar-a-Lago in August 2022.
Previously, prosecutors had stated to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that these boxes were exactly as they were seized. However, they have since confessed that this is not consistent with earlier offered details. The Government stated, “There are some boxes where the order of items is not as in the associated scans.”
Trump’s defense is ready to argue that these documents were stored in chronological order in the White House when Trump received them. They believe the staff packed them up and sent them to Mar-a-Lago unknowingly of their classified nature.
“Prosecutors and investigators should never tamper with or alter evidence in their possession, including the order of documents in a box because one never knows what may become relevant or crucial to a court or jury later in a case,” Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Just The News.
The case revolving around Trump’s classified documents is scheduled to commence on May 20. Both parties agree that an extension might be necessary before court proceedings can start.
