According to an Axios report, Special Counsel Jack Smith plans to use data from former President Trump’s White House cell phone in the federal 2020 election interference case.
Smith will call a special witness who “extracted and processed data,” from the phones of the former president and another unnamed person.
From Axios:
- The witness would also determine the usages of the phones during the post-2020 election period, including on and around Jan. 6, 2021.
- That includes the periods of time when the Twitter app was open on Trump’s phone the day of the Capitol riot, per the court filing.
Trump was indicted in August for attempting to overturn the 2020 election; he has pleaded ‘Not Guilty’ to all charges. The federal 2020 election trial is scheduled to start on March 4.
