Washington — Federal investigators have gained access to White House cell phone records — including a phone used by former President Donald Trump — and could use that information as evidence in the special counsel's 2020 election-related trial, prosecutors revealed late Monday.
While it remains unclear exactly what prosecutors got their hands on and how much the White House cell phone records account for Trump's past online activity, according to special counsel Jack Smith, a technical witness who examined the phone for usage information "throughout the post-election period" might be called to discuss the data during the trial.
This person, whom Smith refers to as "Expert 3" in a court filing, "extracted and processed data from the White House cell phones used by the defendant and one other individual (Individual 1)," Smith's filing said. Expert 3 also "specifically identified the periods of time during which the defendant's phone was unlocked and the Twitter application was open on January 6."
