Former prosecutor points to clue that Jack Smith is pursuing more charges and defendants

Sensitive documents in the criminal case against Donald Trump have been partially unredacted, but the fact that they are still highly censored points to the possibility that the DOJ is seeking to add more claims or charge more people, according to a former prosecutor.

University of Michigan Law Professor Barb McQuade appeared on MSNBC late Wednesday night to discuss potential changes to the Supreme Court. McQuade was asked about why there is still so much material being covered up in the Trump documents in the Mar-a-Lago case.

She replied, "I still think that the real story is what is left that is redacted."

"And we know from other reporting that the grand jury is continuing to do its work. To continue to investigate. That means there could be additional charges. Or additional defendants who get charged," McQuade said. "And so my guess is that that is the kind of material that they are trying to protect. Ordinarily public documents should be fully unredacted."

McQuade noted that, in the public, in order to have them redacted like this, there has to be "some legitimate law enforcement reason for it."

"And so there could be some witnesses that they are trying to protect. Or some lines of inquiry they are trying to protect. Until they finalize and complete the remaining steps in that investigation, I am very curious to find it what it is."
