Jack Smith reveals he's still conducting interviews in Trump classified docs case

Special counsel Jack Smith revealed in a court filing that his team conducted an interview as late as Wednesday of this week in the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump and two others.

In a response to U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday, Smith filed court documents detailing discovery items that had been turned over to the defense.

"The United States of America, by and through the Special Counsel's Office, files this pleading to supplement prior responses," the filing said. "Per the protective order issued in this case (ECF No. 27), the Government has provided thirteen prior productions of unclassified discovery to Defendants Donald J. Trump, Waltine Nauta, and Carlos De Oliveira."

The filing added, "On March 7, 2024, the Government provided a fourteenth production of unclassified discovery to counsel for Defendants ('Production 14'). Production 14 consists of nine pages and includes the memorialization of an interview conducted on March 6, 2024."

It was not immediately clear who the special counsel's office had interviewed or why.

Trump is facing charges about the mishandling of classified documents discovered at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Authorities allege that an array of classified documents, some marked with the highest levels of classification denoting sensitive national security information, were not returned to the government as required but kept at Trump's private residence and club — the specific charges laid out detail the illegal retention of national defense information, a serious federal offense.
