President Trump’s attorneys have accused special counsel Jack Smith of hiding communications with the Biden administration regarding the investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents.
They claim that the probe is politically motivated and have obtained email exchanges between Smith and Biden’s advisors.
Trump’s team alleges that the investigation is aimed at hindering his 2024 presidential campaign and seeks to challenge the prosecution team’s contentions at trial.

They are requesting all communications between Smith’s team and the Biden administration, as well as evidence of improper coordination with other entities.
Additionally, they have petitioned to dismiss the case on the grounds of prosecutorial misconduct.
“The Special Counsel’s Office has disregarded basic discovery obligations and DOJ policies in an effort to support the Biden Administration’s egregious efforts to weaponize the criminal justice system in pursuit of an objective that President Biden cannot achieve on the campaign trail: slowing down President Trump’s leading campaign in the 2024 presidential election,” the filing states.
“The patent absurdity of the Office’s efforts is illustrated by the fact that, while working toward a historic landslide victory in the Iowa caucuses yesterday, President Trump was also preparing to bring to Your Honor’s attention today the record of misrepresentations and discovery violations that have marred this case from the outset and illustrate that the Office has disregarded fundamental fairness and its legal obligations in favor of partisan election interference.”
“The FOIA releases, coupled with other evidence scattered throughout more than 1.2 million pages of discovery, reflect close participation in the investigation by NARA and Biden Administration components such as the White House Counsel’s Office, as well as senior officials at DOJ and FBI,” they wrote. “These revelations are disturbing but not surprising.”
The filing notes that Trump plans to “dispute at trial the contentions by the Special Counsel’s Office that Mar-a-Lago was not secure and that there was a risk that materials stored at those premises could be compromised.”
