All of the evidence the Justice Department collected about the classified documents case was turned over to Donald Trump and his lawyers on Thursday – and an FBI expert says the trove is likely to be terrifying.
While the specifics aren't public, what is available is a list of the types of information. Documents obtained via subpoena, evidence obtained via search warrants, transcripts of grand jury testimony taken before a grand jury in the District of Columbia, transcripts of grand jury testimony taken in the Southern District of Florida, witness interviews conducted through May 12, 2023, key documents, and photographs, and complete copies of closed-circuit television footage.
Speaking about it in Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC panel, former FBI agent Peter Strzok explained that these details aren't going to surprise anyone in law enforcement or government, but for someone who hasn't faced off against the Department of Justice, it's likely a shock.
"Keep in mind we don't have the slightest idea of the totality of information that Jack Smith and his team have assembled. Every court document, whether it's an affidavit for a search warrant, information on an indictment, does not contain and is not required to contain the totality of information that the government has in its possession," Strzok explained. "So, it stands to reason, not only has there been a grand jury but separate and apart from that grand jury, this investigation has been going on for some time."
It means that subpoenas, voluntary interviews, search warrants, and everything else collected was sent to Trump.
"And if I'm on Trump's defense team, today and yesterday is a terrifying day because the volume of information they suddenly have in their lap, all these different people giving accounts of what happened through the course of the mishandling of the classified information is suddenly available to them," Strzok continued. "And it is, I'm sure, an overwhelming amount of information. I'm sure we are going to see more of it certainly if we go to trial."
He also pointed out that the information revealed is only the unclassified information. There is still a slew of classified information that hasn't gone through the "secret process" to decide what will be turned over and when. There's more to come, he said.
