Judge denies Jack Smith's request to keep list of 84 witnesses under wraps

Judge Lays Smack Down on Jack Smith’s Request

Jack Smith’s motion to keep a list of 84 potential witnesses under seal in the classified documents case was denied by Judge Aileen Cannon.

Smith and the rest of the Deep State had argued that keeping the list of witnesses secret was necessary to protect national security interests, but Judge Cannon disagreed.

In her ruling, she said that while the government had presented compelling arguments for why it needed to keep the list secret, she felt that the public’s right to know outweighed those concerns. Additionally, it was revealed that Jack Smith attempted to prevent communication between Donald Trump, Walt Nauta, and the 84 witnesses.

In a separate order Monday, Cannon set a July 14 hearing date to discuss how classified materials will be handled in the case, as requested by the government.

She also granted the government’s request for the appointment of a classified information security officer to assist each side with the handling of any motions or orders related to the Classified Information Procedures Act.
