Jack Smith's team admits to 'incorrect' claim about evidence in Trump classified documents case

Special counsel Jack Smith's team admitted to incorrectly claiming to have turned over evidence as required by law in the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump.
While preparing last week to indict Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira for allegedly conspiring with Trump to delete surveillance footage from the estate, prosecutors learned that footage included as evidence "had not been processed and uploaded to the platform established for the defense to view," Smith's team wrote in a filing Monday.
"The Government’s representation at the July 18 hearing that all surveillance footage the Government had obtained pre-indictment had been produced was therefore incorrect," the prosecutors also said.
What really happened: Someone on Smith's team realized they had introduced as evidence in one case video footage they had intentionally withheld from Trump's attorneys. Smith's filing was preemptive CYA, filed before Trump's team could call out their deception.

This is more proof that the timing of these indictments with bad news for the Biden Regime isn't a coincidence.
