(BPR) Special counsel Jack Smith is reportedly planning to present data “extracted” from former President Donald Trump’s cell phone during the January 6 Capitol riot.
In a court filing Monday, Smith detailed how three expert witnesses will be called on to give their testimony on “extracted and processed data” from White House cell phones including any used by then-President Trump during and after the riot.
The filing comes in the ongoing case against Trump in which he is charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
Smith’s prosecutor Molly Gaston wrote in the filing that “Expert 1 has knowledge, skill, experience, training, and education beyond the ordinary layperson regarding the interpretation and visual representation of geographic location data. The Government expects that Expert 1 will testify about his/her use of ArcGIS (Geographic Information Systems) software to create a map of the Google location history data produced in response to a search warrant.”

“Specifically, Expert 1 plotted the location history data for Google accounts and devices associated with individuals who moved, on January 6, 2021, from an area at or near the Ellipse to an area encompassing the United States Capitol building. His/her testimony will describe and explain the resulting graphical representations of that data, and it will aid the jury in understanding the movements of individuals toward the Capitol area during and after the defendant’s speech at the Ellipse,” the filing continues.
Expert Number 2 will evidently provide some more background.
