Former President Donald Trump on Thursday said special counsel Jack Smith should be punished for issuing a scathing critique of a recent request for jury instruction proposals by the judge overseeing Trump's classified documents case. Smith “should be sanctioned or censured for the way he is attacking a highly respected Judge, Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over his FAKE Documents Hoax case in Florida,” Trump wrote in a post to his Truth Social platform.
The law itself requires presidential records to be archived, aside from personal records “such as diaries, journals, and medical records.” One scenario in Cannon's jury instruction order would give the jury permission to review records that Trump retained and decide which ones are “personal” or “presidential” under the Presidential Records Act.
