This week, the case against former President Trump for mishandling classified documents took some surprising turns.
Investigative journalist Julie Kelly discovered that the boxes of documents seized from Trump's Mara-La-Go home were boxes that the General Services Administration told Trump he needed to take off their hands. He is now being tried for having these documents in his possession against the wishes of the National Archives.
Despite claiming he had no role in the decision to prosecute Trump for unauthorized possession of classified documents--something he has done, but was excused because of his dementia--newly unredacted documents reveal that President Biden was in communication with both Gary Stern, the General Counsel of the National Archives, and Special Counsel Jack Smith regarding the case against Trump.
On Friday, Special Counsel Jack Smith's team admitted that evidence in the case was altered or manipulated since it was seized by the FBI. They also admitted they had misled the court about the problem by previously declaring that the evidence had remained in the exact state it was when it was seized.
Trump's lawyers filed a motion for dismissal of all charges on the grounds of "selective prosecution" pointing out that others including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Biden also had classified documents in their possession but were not similarly prosecuted. "In one case it was FBI Director James Comey declaring that 'no reasonable prosecutor would pursue a case against Hillary Clinton,'" Trump pointed out. "In another it was Special Counsel Robert Hur declaring that Joe Biden's poor memory gets him off the hook. This is not equal justice. It's election interference being carried out at taxpayer expense by the Democrats."
