Jack Smith Finds Multiple Witnesses to Speak Out Against Donald Trump

Former White House officials disagreed with Donald Trump's explanation of how he came to acquire thousands of pages of presidential records, the latest filing by Special Counsel Jack Smith said.Those officials include a former national security adviser and former White House attorneys and chiefs of staff—none of whom said they had any recollection of Trump designating presidential records as personal.

Smith's filing was in response to a March 18 order by Judge Aileen Cannon.In the order, Cannon asked prosecutors and Trump's lawyer to 'engage with' her two prospective jury instructions about what it means to have 'unauthorized possession' of classified documents, per the wording of the charges against Trump.Her proposed instructions appear to suggest to the jury that they are permitted to consider the classified documents to be Trump's personal items.
