The Trump DOJ inadvertently disclosed Volume II of special counsel Jack Smith's report to someone involved in the litigation, a potential breach of legal privilege.
The Trump Department of Justice inadvertently disclosed Volume II of special counsel Jack Smith's report to someone who is party to the litigation—someone the DOJ is actively suing. This isn't a minor paperwork error; it's a breach of attorney-client privilege and work product protection in an active case.
The significance depends on what Volume II contains and how damaging it is to the DOJ's litigation position. If the report is favorable to the DOJ's case, the disclosure doesn't matter much. If it's unfavorable, the DOJ just handed its opponent damaging evidence. Either way, it's a failure of basic legal procedure in a high-profile case.
