The submission notes that Smith has argued in legal submissions earlier in October that “the classified discovery issues” in this case are “limited,” “tangential,” “narrow” and “incidental” because “the charges … do not rely on classified materials.”

In his submissions, Smith references the 2020 Russian case several times as an example of why the U.S. government must be guarded in handing over classified documents to defense lawyers.
