Jack Smith is bitterly resisting disclosing information about the Trump case in a star-chamber-like approach to prosecution.

FTA:
Special counsel Jack Smith said in a new court filing that he’s vehemently opposed to the Trump camp’s latest request to disclose evidence in the former president’s classified documents case, because disclosure would expose potential witnesses to danger.
"The defendants’ Motion is inconsistent with the process they proposed (and that the Court approved) for their supplemental reply brief,” Mr. Smith wrote in the Feb. 16 filing.
"And their request to disclose discovery materials should be denied for the same reasons the Government has explained elsewhere: doing so would unnecessarily expose potential witnesses to very real dangers of harassment, intimidation, and reprisal,” he added.
Mr. Smith’s latest filing stems from a Feb. 15 request by former President Donald Trump’s legal team asking Judge Aileen Cannon to enter an order permitting the disclosure of the discovery materials, arguing there’s a "strong presumption of public access in criminal proceedings” that they believe outweighs Mr. Smith’s request to keep the evidence secret.
End excerpt.
In other words Smith doesn't want the public to know the facts in the case so the media can define it for the public.
This isn't America.
