WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump shared a report alleging Jack Smith’s team exposed classified information during its investigation of Trump, by mentioning the source (see justthenews) on Truth Social on July 10, 2026 at 9:17 PM EST.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Jack Smith’s team may have exposed classified info while probing Trump for allegedly doing the same: https://justthenews.com/government/congress/jack-smiths-team-may-have-exposed-classified-info-while-probing-trump-allegedly”
The report focuses on allegations that members of Smith’s special counsel team mishandled classified materials while investigating Trump for retaining sensitive government documents after leaving the White House. Congressional oversight committees have begun examining whether prosecutors followed proper protocols for handling the very type of information at the heart of their case (see justthenews.com). The scrutiny raises questions about safeguards for sensitive national security information throughout the course of the probe (see dailysignal.com).
Smith took the special counsel role in November 2022 to oversee federal investigations into Trump, including the classified documents case tied to materials found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case in July 2024, ruling that Smith’s appointment violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution (see courthousenews.com). Smith resigned from the Department of Justice in January 2025, before Trump took office for his second term.
The latest allegations about potential classified information exposure have renewed calls for accountability from congressional investigators (see lawnews.co.uk). The debate adds a new dimension to the long-running legal and political battle over the handling of classified materials by current and former government officials (see denvergazette.com).
