Special counsel Jack Smith’s team admitted in a Monday court filing that his staff did not turn over all evidence to former President Donald Trump’s legal team, despite previously claiming that they had.
Smith has brought a total of 40 counts against Trump, accusing him of unlawfully retaining classified documents after leaving office and lying to the government about handing over all documents.
On July 27, Smith’s team filed a “superseding indictment” which further accused Trump of instructing his security staff to delete security tapes from his Mar-a-Lago resort only a couple of months before the FBI raided the Florida residence, Newsweek reported.
Others named in the indictment include Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira and Trump aide Waltine “Walt” Nauta.
According to prosecutors, it was De Oliveira who told a Mar-a-Lago employee that “the boss” wanted a security server erased.
...
Now, it appears that Smith is the one withholding security footage.
In a July 31 court filing, Smith’s team admitted that they failed to upload video footage taken from Mar-a-Lago to an online platform where Trump’s defense team could review it, as required by law, according to Newsweek.
“On July 27, as part of the preparation for the superseding indictment coming later that day and the discovery production for Defendant De Oliveira, the Government learned that this footage had not been processed and uploaded to the platform established for the defense to view the subpoenaed footage,” read the filing.
The Government’s representation at the July 18 hearing that all surveillance footage the Government had obtained pre-indictment had been produced was therefore incorrect.”
The Brady rule is a legal standard that requires the prosecution to provide the defense with any exculpatory information that will be brought against them in court.

You talkin’ about Jack (9 to Nothin’) Smith?
So ... incompetent on top of everything else.
These cases are he said she said. No proof of anything.
Biden’s have a paper trail. SMH
“Smith’s team admitted that they failed to upload video footage taken from Mar-a-Lago to an online platform where Trump’s defense team could review it, as required by law”
Because it proves nothing.
Now, it appears that Smith is the one withholding security footage. ????
He should be preparing for Disbarment Proceedings while sitting in the county jail for 30 days for perpetrating Fraud upon the Court, as well as other deliberate acts of misconduct.
From illegal leaks to discovery violations, this is what a corrupt authoritarian regime looks like.
These trials are microcosms of what goes on every day. People really need to put themselves in Trump’s shoes and ask if it is fair.
******
I’ve put myself in Trump’s shoes and came to the conclusion that we have a corrupt law system in the USA.
This corrupt system is enabled by tax money, politicians, prosecutors, lawyers, judges, policing agents, media, juries, etc.
“It’s time to gut it financially” because it can’t be reformed.
Isn’t that the truth.
I'd saay that the prosecution forgot to take it out of the suit.
Did the Grand Jury see what was missing?
I need one of those to hang out on these fascist trial days.
From illegal leaks to discovery violations, this is what a corrupt authoritarian regime looks like.
************
Which is ironic because one of the defensive mechanisms of the current corrupt law system, is to compare it to a foreign authoritarian regime.
“Aren’t you glad you don’t live in China or Russia?”
.
Technically 8-0. Scania had passed.
And he’a lawyer?
Trump s lawyers should subpoena Gore and Hillary to testify about their attempts to overturn elections that they lost.
I think the current policy of the DOJ is to withhold exculpatory evidence, lie when asked or otherwise compelled to make a representation to the court, and suppress testimony and evidence that may be detrimental to the prosecution. It’s the new Crossfire Hurricane ethical standards of the DOJ that apply when prosecuting Trump, his associates, supporters or anyone who has been seen wearing a MAGA hat, t-shirt or holding any sign or banner declaring a similar sentiment.
The courts are in in the scam too. Couldn’t steal elections without the courts help
Jack Smith is PURE EVIL .......Typical Democrat,
He’s a DEMOCRAT.of course he’s unhinged! ..
