Imagine that the judge even considers withholding prosecutorial documents from the defense. What about the presumption of innocence and rights to defend yourself against accusations?
The Trump side is fighting to include documents that they’d (presumably show Mister Trump) in their client’s defense?
If these should prove exculpatory there’d be heck to pay; so I’m guessing they’re not. But motions take time to wind-out and get rulings on and stipulations to make and time ticks by.

What Jack Smith wanted concealed was a number of his motions. Those motions are at least in part an attempt to keep evidence concealed from Trump's co-defendants and the public.

If you're talking about highly sensitive classified documents, what would be the value of exposing them to the public?

I think these are documents filed by Jack Smith that he wants to remain sealed.
The thing about Cannon is, Trump's defense, as in this case along with others, doesn't even have to file a counter of opposition.
Judge Cannon just does it for them.
