Jack Smith’s team disputes Trump's political bias claim in classified documents case: ‘Inaccurate and distorted’

Federal prosecutors in the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump said his claim that the charges are politically motivated “paints an inaccurate and distorted picture of events” in a filing to the court Friday.

The prosecutors, led by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, responded to Trump’s request seeking evidence of “bias and investigative misconduct,” including communications between the prosecution team and “members, relatives, and associates of the Biden administration.”
