Special counsel Jack Smith’s team admitted in a motion filed with the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida on Friday that key evidence seized during the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022 may have been manipulated. Specifically, the documents are no longer in the same sequence they were in at the time they were removed from the property.
The motion emphasized the painstaking process the government filter team used in handling the documents. The prosecutors informed Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over the case, that the “team took care to ensure that no documents were moved from one box to another, but it was not focused on maintaining the sequence of documents within each box.”
