Special counsel Jack Smith says his office has almost nothing more to share with Donald Trump’s defense attorneys in the Jan. 6 case.
On Oct. 16, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan dispensed with numerous outstanding defense motions intent on prying various bits of information away from the government. In a mixed-bag ruling, the court granted Trump’s requests in part — and denied them in part.
Late last November, Trump’s attorneys filed two separate motions at issue in the present order. The first motion aimed to compel the government to produce certain discovery materials. The second motion sought to force the government to clarify the scope of — meaning a list of anyone involved with — the prosecution team. In the court’s 50-page order, both of those outstanding defense motions were essentially split down the middle. Chutkan offered specific guidance for the government to comply with each defense request.
In a Friday discovery certification, the government said there was very little in their possession that satisfied those discovery obligations.
