The Justice Department has said little about the dozens of prosecutors working on two high-profile trials of Donald Trump. Here’s what we know.
Harvey Eisenberg, a recently retired assistant U.S. attorney in Maryland who has prosecuted cases with lawyers on both special counsel teams, said Windom is known for working well with FBI agents to find holes in cases and determine what evidence is needed for a conviction.Some prosecutors working for Smith on the Florida-based classified documents case came from the Justice Department’s public integrity unit, but most did not.
He’s on leave from that job to work on the Trump documents case full time and has spoken in front of the Florida judge presiding over the case at multiple pretrial hearings so far. “There is a real skill that comes with keeping track of everything that goes over to the defense,” Aaron said. “It can sound like bookkeeping. But when you are up against attorneys who are ready to make accusations against the prosecutors — and perhaps say things that are untrue — Julie is exactly the person you would want to get up and calmly state what the facts are and explain why the government’s decisions are correct.
One of them is Karen Gilbert, based in Miami. Vanessa Singh Johannes, who worked in that office until 2021, said Gilbert is a “formidable” veteran prosecutor who is very comfortable in the courtroom and was responsible for training young lawyers for trials. Johannes said Michael Thakur, another Miami-based prosecutor on Smith’s team, also has a reputation as a talented arguer in the courtroom.
