On June 15, 2023, the Super Supremes settled a circuit split on an important issue involving venue and double jeopardy with its unanimous opinion in Smith v. U.S. The Court’s opinion is timely in that it addresses what could have been an issue for the Department of Justice U.S. v. Trump.
David Weinstein, a partner at Jones Walker, joined Robert to discuss the opinion and how the case may have played a role in Jack Smith's decision to indict Donald Trump in the Southern District of Florida.
David practices white-collar defense and corporate compliance. He is a former assistant united states attorney from the Southern District of Florida. Among other leadership roles with the department of justice, David was chief of the Public Integrity Section, National Security Section, and Criminal Civil Rights Section. David was also chief of the Narcotics Section, and deputy chief of the Major Crimes Section and the Narcotics Section.
