Legal experts are warning that the Department of Justice could be trying to bury "alarming information" about the case involving a stash of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
During an episode of the All Rise News podcast, legal journalists Adam Klasfeld and Michael Popok spoke about the Jack Smith report, an investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his retention of classified documents at his Florida residence. The report "was funded by taxpayers but not released to the taxpaying public," Klasfeld noted, because of a ruling by a federal judge that kept volume two of the report sealed.
"This will forever remain the one covered-up special counsel report in U.S. history," Kladfeld added.
However, earlier this month, the DOJ charged a former U.S. assistant attorney who downloaded a copy of the sealed report, renamed the file to hide it as cake recipes, and sent it to her personal email accounts.
According to Klasfeld, the news of the DOJ charges "was the first we ever heard that a copy of it existed outside of the DOJ," which raised the question of whether the rogue former DOJ attorney was a "whistleblower."
"This is the first time that question is being asked outside the zone of speculation," Klasfeld explained. He proposed there might be others at the DOJ thinking, "Look, they're going to try to put this report in the tomb, it has very alarming information, the public should know about it," he said.
According to Klasfeld, the second volume of Jack Smith's report is "where we would find out more about why Donald Trump stashed all these national secrets in the bathroom of Mar-a-Lago."
