Judge unseals heavily redacted trove of evidence in Trump's 2020 election interference case

[Ubiquitous]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election
interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents
that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if
the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s
team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya
Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme
Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for
official acts they take in office.

The information that could be seen in the redacted version released Friday
appeared to be material that for the most part had already been made public,
including screenshots of Trump social media posts about the 2020 election and
a transcript of the video statement he made on Jan. 6, 2021 in, which he told
the rioters attacking the Capitol to go home, but added: “we love you” and
“you’re very special.”

The overwhelming majority of the pages released Friday were whited-out. The
redacted files are believed to include things like transcripts of grand jury
testimony, which remain under wraps because of grand jury secrecy rules.

Other information visible to the public includes passages from former Vice
President Mike Pence’s book, excerpts of testimony provided by several
witnesses to the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 riot and a
transcript of Trump’s phone call pressuring Georgia election officials to
“find” enough votes to reverse his election loss in the state to Democrat Joe
Biden.

Other documents include fundraising emails from Trump’s 2020 campaign and
Pence’s letter telling Congress on Jan. 6 that he could not claim “unilateral
authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which
should not.”

The filing was submitted as a series of appendices to a 165-page brief
unsealed this month in which prosecutors disclosed new evidence against Trump
to support their argument that the former president is not entitled to
immunity from prosecution.

Trump’s lawyers objected to the unsealing of the filing so close to next
month’s presidential election, but Chutkan on Thursday rejected their bid to
postpone the material from becoming public until after the election. She said
it would be inappropriate to take the political calendar into account.

The judge is 100% correct. The coincidence that Trump running in an election has
no bearing on how this case should proceed.

Nothing like judges engaging in election interference. If one ever

your example.

It is nothing of the kind. Nothing you call election interference ever is.
Nothing you call "ensuring election integrity" ever is, either.

Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine

Two more reasons to not vote for Trump in 11 days.

59) Trump repeatedly suggested he might serve more than
two terms in violation of the Constitution. And continues
to do so! (Trump: "We may have to go for an extra term."

60) Trump called Haiti and African nations "sh*thole countries."
