President Trump’s attorneys wrote a letter to Jack Smith about his confession that classified documents are not in its original form.

“Your failure to disclose the spoliation of this evidence until this month is an extraordinary breach of your constitutional and ethical obligations. Since the beginning of this case, our strategy, preparations, and arguments have been based on the basic premise that — biased as Jack Smith is in his futile efforts to help President Biden make up lost ground in the polls — the line prosecutors and agents would employ the minimal levels of professionalism and competence necessary to preserve evidence relating to the documents at the center of the charges,” Trump’s lawyer wrote to the special counsel’s team.

Tampering with evidence??  Isn't that punishable under law?

Florida Judge Aileen Cannon has indefinitely suspended former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial.

The move had been widely anticipated for some time and marks perhaps the greatest legal victory in Trump’s struggle against his four major indictments. The trial was previously scheduled to take place on May 20.

Cannon gave her reasoning as respecting Trump’s right to due process and the public’s interest in the “fair and efficient administration of justice.”

Apparently not when Law Enforcement does it.  Then it's just an honest mistake.  Ooops.   :shrug:

It is -- unless you are a well-connected Democrat.  Well-connected Democrats have privilege in its original sense, a private law that applies only to them, rather than the law that applies to everyone else.  (cf. the Democrats-only mens rea clause the FBI created out of thin air in the statute governing mishandling of classified documents so they wouldn't have to pursue the prima facia case against Hillary Clinton.)
