In a major development, Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg has ordered the release of documents related to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents case and President Trump’s attorney-client privilege dispute—a clear sign that the Deep State’s weaponized legal assault against the 45th President is unraveling. This comes after a long, corrupt campaign by radical leftist judges like Beryl Howell, another Obama appointee, who shamelessly shredded Trump’s constitutional rights by forcing his attorney, Evan Corcoran, to testify before a grand jury.
The liberal media won’t tell you this, but Jack Smith’s entire investigation has been a sham from the start. Smith abused the legal system by using a DC grand jury and a biased judge (Howell) to target Trump before suddenly shifting the case to Florida—a clear attempt at forum shopping. As reported, “Judge Howell flipped Trump’s own lawyer Eric Corcoran into a witness when she obliterated Trump’s attorney-client privilege in a ruling.” This is the kind of judicial overreach that would never happen to a Democrat.
Thankfully, Judge Aileen Cannon saw through this charade and dismissed Smith’s case last July, ruling that the special counsel was unlawfully appointed and funded without Congressional approval. Citing Justice Clarence Thomas’s concurring opinion on presidential immunity, Trump’s legal team successfully argued that Smith’s entire prosecution was unconstitutional. Judge Cannon agreed, stating that Merrick Garland’s appointment of Smith and the unlimited funding provided to his office were both illegal power grabs.
Now, with Judge Boasberg’s order to unseal documents related to the attorney-client privilege fight, the American people will finally see the extent of the corruption behind this witch hunt. As Boasberg wrote: “In the election case, the Court will unseal all opinions, orders, and docket sheets involving disputes over attorney-client privilege. In the documents case, it will unseal the docket sheets recording the dispute over the testimony of Trump’s lawyers.”
NEW: Trump has finally asked the DC Circuit for a stay of Judge Boasberg’s order forcing Mike Pence to comply with a subpoena from special counsel Jack Smith.

This is a massive victory for transparency and a crushing blow to the Biden administration’s attempts to silence President Trump through lawfare. While the left-wing media continues to push their false narratives, the truth is coming out—and it proves that Trump has been targeted by a weaponized Justice Department desperate to stop him from returning to the White House.
