We all know Trump stole the documents that contain the nation’s top military secrets, intelligence, and nuclear plans. Aileen Canon, U.S. district judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, has been loyal to Trump, running interference against the United States of America by slow-walking the trial for Trump’s comeuppance since she was randomly assigned the case in June.
Late Friday evening, Jack Smith filed a Notification of Expert Witnesses. The list contained the names of six FBI experts who will testify in proceedings against Trump.
Mary Papenfuss writes in The Messenger.
The filing is the latest push-pull in Smith's battle to keep some information secret while also forcing Trump's lawyers to cooperate in the ongoing Florida case against the former president in his indictment on charges that he illegally transferred White House classified documents to Mar-a-Lago.
The document, filed before Judge Aileen Cannon in the West Palm Beach Division of the U.S. Southern District Court of Florida, lists top FBI experts in forensics, and computer and cell phone analysis who may be called to provide public testimony against Trump, and his two co-defendants, body man Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira.
The filing notes that the information provided is a "complete statement" of the expert witnesses' "qualifications, opinions and anticipated testimony," as required by law. In exchange, the government now expects required "reciprocal" Information from the defense, which "typically" involves an initial summary within 14 days of the request, the filing notes.
Somebody’s in for a world of trouble.
