Legal experts Ryan Goodman and Andrew Weissmann from NYU Law warn that if the current case against President Trump in Florida is fails, Special Counsel Jack Smith may have another set of charges in store for him. According to their research, Smith may press separate accusations for the “dissemination of classified documents” in the state of New Jersey. Trump’s ongoing struggle against what he terms a witch hunt against him and his administration may become worse as a result of this development.
The first allegations against Smith may not have been included because of a “cautious, narrow approach” taken in handling the intricate case, according to The Atlantic. The inclusion of New Jersey allegations in a Florida indictment likely resulted from a variety of legal considerations at play. It should be emphasized, though, that Smith has left himself open to changing course in reaction to any unforeseen events. Many academicians who have investigated the matter more thoroughly have expressed concerns.

“Smith appears to have taken a cautious, narrow approach. Even though the indictment describes alleged dissemination and disclosure of national-security secrets, the indictment did not charge Trump with those offenses,” they write. “One possible explanation for his decision: venue. The Constitution requires prosecutors to bring charges in the location—or venue—where the alleged criminal conduct took place. Justice Department prosecutors could not necessarily bring charges against Trump in Miami for alleged criminal conduct that occurred in another state, in this case New Jersey. But the absence of such charges in the indictment raises the intriguing possibility of another indictment to come, in a jurisdiction, no less, with a pool of jurors and judges more favorable to the government’s case against Trump,”.
The significance of a prospective holdup in the Florida judge’s case processes is revealed by Weissman and Goodman. Smith would have the choice to file charges in staunchly Democratic New Jersey as a backup plan if such a delay occurred after the November 2024 election.
“The legal uncertainties that surround bringing charges in Florida for dissemination of national-security secrets in Bedminster leaves open the possibility that charges might yet be brought in New Jersey—a backup plan of sorts for Smith. If Aileen Cannon, the Florida judge assigned to the case, were to seek to pocket-veto the charges before her by, say, scheduling the trial for after the 2024 presidential election, the special counsel would be able to sidestep her tactic by proceeding with charges in New Jersey,” they add.
“Smith might still decide against bringing a separate indictment for dissemination, because such a move could be painted as overcharging,” they wrote. “The government usually tries to avoid being seen as piling on, at least in such a high-profile matter. But if Cannon acts consistently with her prior Trump-friendly rulings, which were twice found by unanimous panels of conservative appellate judges to be both factually and legally flawed, Smith might go looking for another way to ensure accountability — and another venue where he could do so.”
Jack Smith’s attempts to be ready for any conceivable setback suggest that he is motivated to skew the odds against President Trump. Judge Cannon has already ruled in favor of Trump in Florida, but Smith seems determined to leave nothing to chance.
The steadfast support of the American people is obvious in spite of efforts by the Democratic elite and the Department of Justice to remove President Trump through their current investigations.
