In a stunning admission, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team is admitting that key evidence in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents criminal case was altered or manipulated since it was seized by the FBI, and that prosecutors misled the court about it for a period of time.
Legal experts agreed the revelation could prove to be a serious problem for prosecutors and a violation of court rules to preserve evidence in the state it was seized.
Smith’s team conceded it had misled the court about the problem by previously declaring that the evidence had remained in the exact state it had been seized.
