In a development that has more than a little irony involved, Jack Smith, Joe Biden’s point man on the campaign to file charges against President Donald Trump, has admitted he lied in court.
He apparently failed to provide to the defense all of the video material that he was supposed to. And then he said in court that it had been done.
“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,” he admitted in a court filing.
Ironically, his team had just accused Trump in a new indictment of “conspiring with his staff to delete some security footage so that the grand jury in the case would not see all the evidence,” explained a report from the Epoch Times.
The report called the confirmation a “startling admission.”
“Mr. Smith’s team said in a July 31 court filing in its classified documents case against the former president that it had incorrectly claimed during a July 18 court hearing that it had provided all Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage to Mr. Trump’s defense attorneys, as required by law.”
