Special counsel Jack Smith’s statement about the lack of recoverable information on Secret Service agents’ work phones has raised doubts about the agency’s claim that text messages related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol uprising were irretrievably deleted.
Trump faces federal charges related to election interference, and Smith opposes expanding evidence access, citing potential trial delays.
The Secret Service’s lost text messages, blamed on a reset program, have prompted skepticism, especially as the DOJ possessed the original devices. (Trending: Tucker Carlson Reveals ‘Secret’ Project He’s Been Working On For Months)
Elon Musk and political commentator Julie Kelly expressed incredulity at the situation.
Trump’s attorneys sought a trial halt, and Smith appealed directly to the Supreme Court for urgency due to the upcoming 2024 election.
“Though the defendant points to the fact that the Government obtained during the investigation ‘several official phones from USSS [U.S. Secret Service] employees,’…he fails to inform the Court that the phones did not contain any recoverable information and that, though informed that the Government intended to return the phones to USSS by a certain date, he failed to interpose an objection,” the response read.
“J6 committee subpoenaed the texts only to be told they were not recoverable,” political commentator Julie Kelly wrote.
“Now it looks like DOJ had [the] actual phones but still could not find the deleted messages?”
“This is insane—no one can possibly believe this given the invasive tools the govt has and has used in this investigation.”
Elon Musk commented, “Really?”
“It appears DOJ is part of the scandal of the missing Secret Service texts. As I reported a few days ago, thousands of texts between 2 dozen Secret Service officials/agents including the director and Robert Engel–the agent Trump allegedly attacked on J6 according to Cassidy Hutchinson–were deleted at the end of Jan 2021,” Kelly added.
“USSS claimed the purge was caused by a pre-planned reset of devices–and it happened after House Dems notified exec branch to preserve records related to Jan 6.”
“J6 committee subpoenaed the texts only to be told they were not recoverable. Now it looks like DOJ had actual phones but still could not find the deleted messages?” she pressed.
“This is insane–no one can possibly believe this given the invasive tools the govt has and has used in this investigation,” she said.
“This is in addition to Biden’s DHS refusing to give House GOP numerous transcribed interviews with Secret Service officials–also apparently the one with Engel.”
New: Last night, Jack Smith filed a motion objecting to Trump's demands for vast amounts of evidence from various agencies including DHS and J6 committee.
