Judge Aileen Cannon unsealed a trove of documents Monday that appear to reveal a coordinated effort within the Biden administration to target Donald Trump with political prosecution after he left office.
Special Counsel Jack Smith and other federal prosecutors in President Biden's Department of Justice indicted Trump in June 2023 for allegedly mishandling classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home.
Here are the three most shocking revelations in the lawfare case against Trump thanks to the newly unsealed documents, in part as pointed out by independent reporter Julie Kelly on X. Jay Bratt, the special counsel's lead prosecutor, allegedly threatened Trump staff member Walt Nauta's attorney, Stanley Woodward, with sabotaging his judicial nomination to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia if he could not get Nauta to turn on Trump, according to a newly unsealed motion originally filed in June 2023.
Following Trump's departure from office, the National Archives and Records Administration began "To work with the White House Office of Records Management on exaggerated claims related to records handling under the Presidential Records Act," a motion to compel discovery from Trump's attorney's states.
The filing alleges that Deputy White House Counsel Jonathan Su asked one of Trump's PRA representatives to permit an undisclosed individual to access "Notes from the Trump administration relating to records handling." The filing alleges that Su did not disclose that NARA "Had already drafted a referral letter and contacted DOJ.".
Biden's Department of Energy also allegedly revoked Trump's security clearance after Smith indicted Trump in June 2023, according to a 2024 motion to compel discovery from Trump's lawyers posted on X by Kelly.
Trump "Requested additional disclosures relating to the Energy Department's determination and other security clearance issues" but the office allegedly "Declined to provide any additional information."
