Withheld Impeachment Records from Trump's Defense Team

… morning, Deputy Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche confirmed Jack Smith withheld relevant impeachment records from defense counsel during one of his criminal cases against President Trump – including records Grassley recently released proving the Smith elector case was generated by an anti-Trump FBI agent acting in violation of FBI protocol. Withholding impeachment evidence from defense counsel prevents the defendant from raising a complete defense and performing full and complete questioning of witnesses.

GRASSLEY: Mr. Blanche, Senator Johnson and I recently released FBI emails and other records to the public regarding Arctic Frost, the FBI’s case against Trump. Those records show that anti-Trump FBI agent Thibault drafted, opened, and advanced the information that became the basis of Jack Smith’s elector case. The records further show the work was done in violation of FBI rules. The government is supposed to produce impeachment evidence to defense counsel.

Did the government produce emails and records between Thibault and his team of agents to defense counsel, including the ones I recently made public?

BLANCHE: No, Senator.
