Special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutors have made an astonishing admission in a new court filing to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon regarding former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case.
In the filing, Smith revealed “that after boxes of documents were seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, the order of the documents changed, which the court did not learn about until now,” the Western Journal reported.
The filing addressed defendant Walt Nauta’s request for additional time to learn the contents and organization of the documents seized. It specifically identified which documents were in which boxes and the correct sequence of the documents within those boxes. Smith’s filing noted that the current order of the boxes doesn’t match scans of them that were made earlier, which is a problem, according to legal experts.
