The filing says Smith turned over evidence procured by a subpoena or through search warrants.
The filing’s reference to “interviews” suggest prosecutors are leveraging multiple recordings of Mr. Trump, made with his consent, and go beyond the Bedminster, New Jersey, tape in which Mr. Trump allegedly refers to plans for an attack of Iran — an episode mentioned in his indictment.
Mr. Trump faces a 37-count indictment that was handed up this month by a grand jury in Miami. It alleges that he unlawfully stored classified documents related to nuclear and military secrets, among other papers, at his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida and obstructed efforts to return them to the National Archives.
He said his declassification powers as president entitled him to the documents and that he was very busy and needed to sift through his boxes of possessions when archivists came calling for classified documents. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon scheduled the trial to begin Aug. 14, but it is unlikely that will happen, given the number of pretrial motions and decisions that must be made.
