"Damning new documents from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, obtained by Rep. Jamie Raskin and Judiciary Democrats, reveal that Trump kept documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them, showed a classified map to unnamed passengers on a private plane, and that Trump stole these classified documents to advance his business and financial interests."

Dec. 31st
On-going legacy of a Federal Judge’s dismissal of and hiding facts about a federal indictment 🤮:Judiciary Committee testimony
“The #ClassifiedDocuments case was hampered by rulings from Florida judge #AileenCannon who at one point dismissed Smith’s indictment.“[Jack] Smith authored a report into his prosecutions, and the portion covering the election interference case was released prior to Biden leaving office. However, Cannon has barred the chapter discussing the classified-documents charges from being made public, though Democrats on the judiciary committee have asked her to reverse her decision.
“At the outset of the hearing, an attorney for Smith, Peter Koski, told the committee the former special counsel had received an email from the #Justice Department advising him to #avoid talking about his evidence in the case because of Cannon’s ruling.”
-
#JackSmith also said investigators had “powerful evidence” #Trump broke the #law by hoarding #ClassifiedDocuments at his #MarALago estate after his first term, & by #obstructing government efforts to recover the records.
“I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump’s political association, activities, beliefs, or candidacy in the 2024 election. We took actions based on what the facts & the law required—the very lesson I learned early in my career as a prosecutor.”
-
This is the same argument #Trump made about the #ClassifiedDocuments he took Mar-a-Lago after his first term & then refused to return. He said because he was president he could just think that they were declassified, & suddenly the documents would be. Like some “I Dream of Jeannie” shit.

In response, the #DOJ asked the #11thCircuit US Court of Appeals in Atl on Tues AM to overturn #AileenCannon’s order.
Acc/to the request, the #SpecialCounsel turned over the report on Tues PM to Garland, who decides what portions of the report should be released publicly.Prosecutors say the report is 2 volumes. One outlines the mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & #obstruction case, & the other details the findings in the DC #ElectionInterference case against #Trump.

The order from #Chutkan puts an end to the federal effort to hold #Trump criminally responsible for his attempts to hold onto #power after losing the #2020election, culminating in the #Jan6, 2021 violent #insurrection at the #US Capitol by a mob of his supporters.
The move came after #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith …moved to dismiss the #ElectionInterference case & end his attempt to revive a separate case accusing Trump of illegally retaining #ClassifiedDocuments when he left office in 2021….

Responding Mon, a spox w/the #SpecialCounsel's office said in a statement, "The dismissal of the case deviates from the uniform conclusion of all previous courts to have considered the issue that the Attorney General is statutorily authorized to appoint a Special Counsel."
#JackSmith's office said Wed that they would not be commenting further.
The filing indicates that Smith will appeal the decision to the #11thCircuit Court of Appeals.

"The Special Counsel—reminding Judge Cannon that he is actually EMPLOYED BY THE DOJ—just notified her that the Attorney General has authorized his IMMEDIATE APPEAL of her ruling dismissing the Mar a Lago case because it’s DEVIATES from all prior court decisions affirming the validity of the Special Counsel’s office and funding."

#FBI agents searched #MarALago on Aug 8, 2022, finding 103 #ClassifiedDocuments that eventually led to his #indictment.
#Trump is seeking to suppress much of that #evidence by arguing that the #SearchWarrant was faulty.
#AileenCannon also said Trump’s defense lawyers were #entitled to a hearing on whether prosecutors had misused statements by one of Trump’s fmr lawyers.
Cannon said she would shortly issue a separate order on when she will hear those issues in court. -

Judge #AileenCannon said Thurs that she will hold a hearing for #Trump’s lawyers to challenge some of the #evidence gathered against him for alleged mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & #obstruction of government efforts to retrieve them.

The episode about the map, while indicative of #Trump’s lax handling of #classified materials, was not central to the formal allegations in the case. Those focus on his removal from the White House of nearly three dozen documents containing sensitive #NationalSecurity secrets & his repeated efforts to #obstruct the government from retrieving them from Mar-a-Lago, his private club & residence in Florida.

👀 It is only through the #luck of the draw that #trump would see his #classifieddocuments case fall before #JudgeCannon. Yet that has opened her up to an entirely different set of #criticisms. That includes her frankly #bizarredecision to have the #defense spend time on #jury instructions and arguments regarding the #PresidentialRecordsAct rather than deal with the more pressing issues on her plate.
