Special counsel Jack Smith’s team admitted to wrongly claiming to have turned over evidence as required by law in the case of classified documents against former President Donald Trump.

“Therefore, the Government’s representation at the July 18 hearing that all surveillance footage obtained by the Government prior to the indictment had been produced was incorrect,” prosecutors also said.
All CCTV footage obtained by the government has now been released to the defendants, according to Smith’s team.
