Revealed: New Jack Smith filing blows up Trump's theory about Biden influence in docs case

A new filing from special counsel Jack Smith in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case swats down former President Donald Trump's demand for a broad range of discovery from various branches of the federal government, detailed by Politico's Kyle Cheney on Friday evening.

Trump pushed the discovery request as a bid to try to find evidence that the Biden administration orchestrated the investigation as a political hit against him — but Smith's filing reveals the exact nature of the Biden White House's involvement.

"Jack Smith provides new details about the origins of the classified documents case against Trump, including how Biden WH counsel came to be involved — with knowledge and participation of Trump's representatives," wrote Cheney on X.

"Smith repeatedly describes the 'cautious' and 'incremental approach' that government officials took toward Trump's retention of sensitive documents," Cheney continued. Furthermore, "Prosecutors accuse Trump attorneys of making ominous sounding claims about an 'undifferentiated' Biden administration when, drilling down, it's distinct career officials at different agencies exercise 'specific portfolios and responsibilities.'"

The case, which is being litigated in Florida and is presided over by Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon, alleges that Trump hoarded highly classified national defense information in boxes at his country club, ordering the boxes moved around so that federal investigators wouldn't know he possessed them.

It's one of two federal cases against Trump being prosecuted by Smith, who is also overseeing the election conspiracy case in D.C. that is currently on hold while courts review Trump's claim to presidential immunity.
