The Justice Department said Wednesday night that it had begun turning over evidence to former President Donald Trump's legal team as his lawyers prepare a defense to charges that he illegally retained classified documents.
The evidence includes transcripts of grand jury testimony taken in both Washington and Florida, copies of closed-circuit television footage obtained by the government and copies of interviews of Trump “conducted by non-government entities, which were recorded with his consent and obtained" by the prosecution team of special counsel Jack Smith.
