Blue Press Journal – Newly disclosed records indicate Special Counsel Jack Smith uncovered evidence that Donald Trump removed classified materials connected to his global business empire, establishing a financial motive for the former president’s alleged concealment of sensitive files at Mar-a-Lago, according to reporting from The Washington Post and Politico.
A January 2023 progress memo, released March 13 to congressional investigators, alleges Trump displayed restricted maps to political allies—including future chief of staff Susie Wiles—aboard a private aircraft, while hoarding documents so sensitive only six U.S. officials were authorized to view them. These revelations prompted a 37-count federal indictment subsequently dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon on technical grounds, effectively suppressing evidence of potential corruption.
Representative Jamie Raskin has accused the Justice Department of covering up Trump’s improper storage of national secrets in club showers and closets to protect his commercial interests, charges the DOJ deemed a “cheap political stunt.” While Smith remains silenced by judicial gag orders, Trump has attacked the special counsel as a “deranged animal” on Truth Social, intensifying scrutiny of unprecedented efforts to monetize classified intelligence.
