Cannon also requested information from prosecutors regarding the continued use of an out-of-state grand jury to investigate the case.
In a court brief signed by Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday, she denied Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request to file documents in Trump classified documents case under seal.
Cannon wrote that Smith has moved to file under seal a "supplement" containing additional information "to facilitate the Court’s inquiry" into the case of Trump allegedly retaining classified documents.
"The Special Counsel states in conclusory terms that the supplement should be sealed from public view 'to comport with grand jury secrecy,' but the motion for leave and the supplement plainly fail to satisfy the burden of establishing a sufficient legal or factual basis to warrant sealing the motion and supplement," Cannon wrote.
Cannon also requested information from prosecutors regarding the continued use of an out-of-state grand jury to investigate the case.
"Among other topics as raised in the Motion, the response shall address the legal propriety of using an out-of-district grand jury proceeding to continue to investigate and/or to seek post-indictment hearings on matters pertinent to the instant indicted matter in this district," she continued in the brief.
