Special counsel Jack Smith plans to present former President Donald Trump’s cell phone data as evidence during his federal election interference trial, according to new court filings.
Smith’s office filed a notice Monday saying prosecutors plan to call several expert witnesses during the trial to explain Trump’s cell phone use during and after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol. One witness, Smith wrote, has “extracted and processed data” from White House cell phones used by Trump and “specifically identified the periods of time” when the devices were unlocked and the Twitter application was open.
The three expert witnesses were not identified in the filing.
