United States v. Donald Trump, Docket # 23-CR-80101 – Docket # 267 – Government’s Response to Defendant’s Motions to Compel Discovery filed 1-18-2024

In a motion filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Trump’s attorneys argue that that the Office of Special Counsel’s “misrepresentations and discovery violations that have marred this case from the outset” “illustrate that the Office has disregarded fundamental fairness and its legal obligations in favor of partisan election interference.”  The motion seeks an order compelling Jack Smith to turn over evidence that has been withheld by the Government. 

The motion cites newly-obtained information by the defense that “reveals that politically motivated operatives in the Biden Administration and the National Archives and Records Administration (“NARA”) began this crusade against President Trump in 2021.”  The motion also demands evidence of bias, including

(1) any communications with members, relatives, or associates of the Biden Administration;

(2) communications between members of the Biden Administration and the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office during the course of the investigation that led to this case, including but not limited to records relating to meetings involving Nathan Wade that are substantiated by legal invoices appended to congressional filings; and

(3) evidence relating to analytic bias harbored by the Intelligence Community that President Trump will use to impeach positions that are relevant to § 793(e)’s requirement relating “national defense” information.

A hearing has yet to be held on the motion.  The case is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach Division, Case # 23-CR-80101.
