Special counsel Jack Smith’s team on Thursday pushed back on former President Donald Trump’s attempt to gain access to intelligence community materials in the Florida classified documents case, arguing Trump lawyers’ filing is "replete with mischaracterizations and baseless arguments."
"The Government supports full transparency of the record consistent with witness safety, national security, and the court's protective order, in part because that transparency will expose the defendants' distortions of the factual and legal landscape in their motions to compel," Smith’s team wrote in a four-page filing to Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon flagged by The Messenger. But Smith’s team opposes Trump’s request to release sensitive discovery material “out of concern for witness safety.”
