Trump's lawyer requests docs on foreign threat actors targeting US election infrastructure: Trump's lawyer sought documents related to Russian and Iranian cyber activities targeting US election infrastructure, potentially jeopardizing national security and election confidence.
Donald Trump's lawyer sent a letter to special counsel Jack Smith's team in October 2023, which was recently revealed in a court filing. The letter contains document requests from Trump that aim to obtain information related to Russian and Iranian advanced persistent threat actor activities targeting US state, local, territorial, and tribal government networks, including election websites. Trump also requested documents related to the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security joint report on foreign interference targeting election infrastructure during the 2020 US Federal Elections. These requests suggest that Trump is trying to obtain information that could potentially imperil national security and undermine confidence in US election infrastructure. The letter was attached as an exhibit to a reply brief that Trump filed in a motion to dismiss a case against him in the Washington DC federal court. This motion was filed under the allegation of selective and vindictive prosecution.
Trump Lawyer's Request for Documents Could be an Example of 'Graymail': Trump's team requests sensitive documents for defense, but their release may harm national security, highlighting the balance between due process and national security.
Former President Donald Trump's lawyer's recent motion requesting documents from Special Counsel Jack Smith's team regarding the ongoing criminal investigation could be an example of a tactic known as "gray mail" or "graymail." This strategy involves a litigant attempting to make sensitive information the focus of a case, potentially causing harm to national security. Trump's team argues that they need access to these documents to build a defense against selective or vindictive prosecution. However, not all requested materials are required to be turned over in a criminal case. If the documents in question are indeed sensitive and could potentially harm national security, it may not be in the best interest of the government to grant the request. Ultimately, this motion highlights the complex interplay between due process, national security, and the legal process.

Trump expresses concern over missing documents for election case defense: Trump argues for clear evidence, requests documents for defense, asserts constitutional rights
During a discussion regarding ongoing legal proceedings, former President Donald Trump expressed his concern over not receiving certain documents he had requested for discovery on October 23, 2023. Trump argued that the prosecution was required to provide clear and concrete evidence to establish permissible motives in the case, as outlined in previous Supreme Court rulings. Trump also claimed that the special counsel's office was unclear about the type of fact-finding required and requested documents related to the U.S. government's ability to prevent foreign interference in elections. Trump filed a vindictive selective prosecution motion, asserting the need for these documents to prove his claim. The documents requested were not classified as Brady or exculpatory material but were essential for Trump's defense. Trump believed he had constitutional rights to these documents, and the prosecution's refusal to provide them was not sufficient in fulfilling their discovery obligations.
Trump's Behavior in Legal Proceedings Concerns Mycellus: Mycellus urges focusing on facts, not distractions, in Trump's legal proceedings, and warns against releasing sensitive documents for national security reasons.
During the discussion, Ben Mycellus expressed concern over former President Donald Trump's behavior in ongoing legal proceedings, suggesting it doesn't align with that of an innocent party. Instead of focusing on the facts and the law, Trump reportedly creates distractions through tactics like attacking judges, prosecutors, and witnesses. Mycellus emphasized the importance of arguing the facts to demonstrate Trump's guilt. He also highlighted the potential danger of making certain documents public, which Trump is trying to do, for national security reasons. Mycellus and Midas Touch Network remain committed to promoting democracy, justice, and accountability, and encourage support for their "Convict 45" campaign.
