According to Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations correspondent and investigative reporter, Jack Smith’s case against former President Donald Trump, which pertains to classified documents, is likely to see significant or total dismissal due to a procedural error.
Sperry cited “legal insiders” in an X platform post claiming that the charges of false statement under USC 1001 against Trump will be dismissed as he was never interviewed by a federal agent.
Sperry asserted that Smith’s case is unsubstantiated and largely composed of rhetoric meant to influence the jury.
“NEW: Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 indictment of Trump repeatedly relies on a fuselage of subjective, even inflammatory language devoid of underlying facts and evidence to appeal emotionally to jurors, including: “fraudulent/fraudulently” (63) “false/falsely” (94) “fake” (5) “sham” (3)” he wrote in another X post.
Sperry also claimed that Smith’s case relies in large part on an “emoji.”
“DEVELOPING: Jack Smith’s Mar-a-Lago obstruction case against Trump is based on an emailed ’emoji’ related to security camera footage that was never actual [sic] destroyed, according to legal insiders,” he tweeted.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon of the Southern District of Florida, a Trump appointee who is overseeing the case, has already invalidated two of Smith’s sealed filings early last month; thus, part of Smith’s legal action against the former president has been dismissed.
Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz has threatened to summon Smith before a congressional committee following the special counsel’s additional charges against President Trump.
These felony allegations, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, are a part of an investigation concerning purported attempts to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election prior to the January 6th, 2021 assault on the US Capitol.
Gaetz took Smith to task, as well as fellow Republicans, after the filing.
“House Republicans should immediately demand that Jack Smith present himself for a transcribed interview with the Judiciary Committee in the next 15 days.,” Gaetz said in a Newsmax interview he posted to YouTube.
