Oops! Trump's special prosecutor admits he lied in court

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."

But he admitted his team learned "this footage had not been processed and uploaded to the platform" set up for the defense.
Under what is known in federal courts as the Brady rule, prosecutors are required by law to share all evidence with a defendant's legal team.
The Epoch Times noted the Biden Department of Justice did not immediately return a request for comment.
The report explained Smith's team had accused Trump of telling a Mar-a-Lago worker to delete security tapes.
Trump said Smith's claim simply was false.
The case focuses on the presidential papers Trump took with him when he left office. Some of them were classified, but as president he had the authority to declassify what he chose.
In stark contrast, similar classified papers also were found in the residences – or garage in Joe Biden's case – of him and Mike Pence. But the DOJ has declined to begin any case against either of them.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To their horror, America’s ruling elites failed to knock out Donald Trump during his four years as president via the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion scandal – conceived and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as the Durham report proves – or through two circus-like impeachment trials. Later came “January 6,” a demonstration-turned-riot by Trump supporters who passionately believed, with good reason, that the recent election – and therefore their country – had just been stolen from them. Members of Congress now want to constitutionally bar Trump from again seeking public office for having instigated “an armed insurrection” (no protester was armed) against America.
Then in March, Trump was indicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and in June, still more indictments were filed against Trump – 37 federal criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Honest legal experts not in league with the Biden administration openly classify these indictments as somewhere between frivolous and idiotic, not to mention grotesquely politically motivated.
The Deep State’s never-ending persecution of Donald Trump, as well as the incredible back story of the totalitarian agenda Trump’s persecutors are attempting to implement in America and why Trump represents a mortal threat to their nefarious designs – is the focus of the blockbuster July issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE PERSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP: Why the ruling elites loathe – and fear – the 45th president.”
