In the federal 2020 election interference case, special counsel Jack Smith intends to utilize data from the former President Trump’s White House cell phone, according to a court filing on Monday.
Smith plans to present an expert witness who has successfully “extracted and processed data” from both the former president’s phone and another undisclosed individual’s device.
This expert witness will analyze the usage patterns of these phones during the post-2020 election period, including activities around January 6, 2021, which encompasses the time when the Twitter app was active on Trump’s phone on the day of the Capitol riot, Axios reported.
Former President Trump, indicted in August for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, faces charges of conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The federal 2020 election trial is scheduled to commence on March 4, the day before Super Tuesday.
