Special Counsel Jack Smith's legal team has conceded that crucial evidence in former President Donald Trump's classified documents case was accessed and rearranged after being seized by the FBI.
This admission contradicts previous statements made to the court, which legal experts argue could seriously undermine the credibility of the prosecution.
The order of documents in some boxes taken from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate differs between the physical copies and digital scans.
Prosecutors attribute the inconsistencies to various reasons, including court-ordered access, investigative purposes, and the physical properties of the items in the boxes.
However, they acknowledge this contradicts what they had previously understood and represented to the court.
Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy contends that this revelation amounts to evidence tampering and could be highly problematic for the prosecution.
The organization of the documents is expected to be a key aspect of Trump's defense, as his team will likely argue that the materials were packed by staff without his knowledge of any classified content.
Eric Ciaramella, the whistleblower who triggered President Donald Trump's first impeachment, had significant involvement in the political maneuverings surrounding the Biden family's business dealings in Ukraine, according to recently obtained emails from Joe Biden's vice presidential office.
As a national security analyst assigned to Biden's office in 2015, Ciaramella closely advised the vice president when he threatened to withhold U.S. aid from Ukraine unless its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, was fired. Shokin was investigating Burisma Holdings, a company that employed Biden's son Hunter.
Emails show Ciaramella hosted and met with senior Ukrainian prosecutors at the White House, provided readouts to superiors who pushed for Shokin's dismissal, and traveled with Biden to Kyiv during the trip when Biden demanded Shokin's ouster.
Ciaramella also drafted media talking points for Ukrainian officials and corresponded with Biden aides coordinating responses to negative press about Hunter's Burisma job.
Despite witnessing these events firsthand, there is no evidence Ciaramella raised concerns about the Bidens' activities as he later did regarding Trump.
Some former congressional investigators argue that Ciaramella effectively helped conceal a scandal worse than what Trump was impeached over and failed to disclose his own potential conflict of interest.
The ongoing trial of former President Donald Trump in New York is shrouded in ambiguity, as the specific crime he is accused of committing remains unclear.
Trump faces charges of falsifying business records related to payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016 and 2017. However, falsifying business records is a misdemeanor with a two-year statute of limitations, which would have expired in 2019.
Under New York law, falsifying business records can be elevated to a felony if done with intent to commit or conceal another crime. The statute of limitations for this felony charge is five years, but prosecutors missed this deadline as well.
The indictment was made possible by a COVID-19-related extension of the statute of limitations, allowing prosecutors to bring charges just before the new six-year deadline.
Prosecutors have not specified the underlying crime that would justify the felony charges, and this lack of clarity persists even as the trial is underway.
Legal experts argue that this violates the Fifth Amendment, which requires felony charges to be clearly stated in an indictment.
If convicted on all 34 felony counts, Trump could face a maximum sentence of 136 years in prison, despite the fundamental questions surrounding the charges against him.
