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.
That’s gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.
There’s a lot of hype around calling this a trove and playing up Trump’s resistance to having it released. Surely there’s something damning in there, right?
I mean, I’m pretty sure most of it (not all) is known from the dribs and drabs that have already come out, but it’s a coherent document that ties it all together.
I betcha he still gets to run for president.
Yes, but nothing new, apparently
