Judge Cannon Postpones Key Deadline in Classified Documents Case Against Trump After Jack Smith Admits to Evidence Tampering

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday night postponed a key deadline in the classified documents case after Special Counsel Jack Smith admitted to tampering with evidence.

Cannon temporarily stayed a May 9 deadline for President Trump and his co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira related to CIPA. President Trump's attorneys wrote a letter to Jack Smith about his confession that classified documents are not in its original form.

Special Counsel Jack Smith on Friday evening responded to Trump's co-defendant Walt Nauta's motion to extend a deadline for disclosures in the classified documents case.

In a motion filed late Friday, Jack Smith admitted the FBI messed with the boxes containing "Classified" documents they seized from Trump and can't be sure the order or the placement of the documents.

In a May 1 filing, Walt Nauta's attorney claimed he had difficulty in cross-referencing materials in classified and unclassified discovery because "Certain items in the seized boxes he reviewed were in a different order from where they appear in the scans of the boxes' contents produced in discovery." Jack Smith in his Friday night response admitted the FBI moved the classified documents around.

According to a footnote in the motion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, the FBI messed with the boxes containing the 'classified' documents they seized from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.

See, e.g., 4/12/24 Hearing Tr. at 65 and labeled the classified cover sheets in the boxes with the codes for the seized documents.
