- Special counsel Jack Smith plans to use data from former President Trump’s White House cell phone in the federal 2020 election interference case, per a Monday court filing.
- The big picture: Smith plans to call an expert witness who has “extracted and processed data,” from the phones of the former president and another unnamed person.
- The witness would also determine the usages of the phones during the post-2020 election period, including on and around Jan. 6, 2021.
- That includes the periods of time when the Twitter app was open on Trump’s phone the day of the Capitol riot, per the court filing.
