The Department of Justice mistakenly handed over the Jack Smith special counsel report to a defendant in an unrelated case. The blunder raises questions about document handling in sensitive matters.
The Department of Justice mistakenly handed over special counsel Jack Smith's report to a defendant in a completely unrelated case. The defendant had nothing to do with Smith's investigation, but now has a copy of the report.
This is a basic document control failure. The report is supposed to be handled carefully. Accidentally giving it to people it wasn't meant for is sloppy. It's also consequential because once a document is out, you can't get it back. The defendant now has information they shouldn't have, and it happened because of DOJ error.
