Special counsel Jack Smith suggested that the government knows “what Trump intended” to do with the classified documents he took home to Mar-a-Lago in a Monday filing highlighted by Washington Post reporter Aaron Blake.
Smith’s team in the filing pushed back on the former president’s bid to delay his Mar-a-Lago trial until after the 2024 election, arguing that Trump’s lawyers had not provided any sufficient reason for such a delay. But the filing also suggested that prosecutors may be ready to prove why the former president took the documents.
