Special counsel Jack Smith’s office argued in a June 24 brief that there was no spoliation of evidence in the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump, rebutting several claims made about the government’s handling of the evidence in the case.
On May 3, the prosecution acknowledged in a footnote of a court briefing that the order of documents in the boxes seized from Mar-a-Lago had shifted, and noted they should not have misled the judge that the order had not changed. Former President Trump circulated news of this finding himself, and his legal team later filed a motion arguing this contributed to a due process violation warranting dismissal of the indictment.
