Judge reveals important document in Trump election case

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has taken a significant step in the investigation into former President Donald Trump’s alleged actions to undermine the transfer of power after the 2020 election. Special counsel Jack Smith has submitted a crucial 165-page filing to Judge Chutkan, which contains evidence from his probe into Trump’s conduct.

The filing, initially submitted under seal to Judge Chutkan last week, is part of ongoing proceedings following a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity earlier this year. Judge Chutkan has granted Smith’s request to make the document public, with certain redactions, despite Trump’s objections.

Trump and his legal team have until Tuesday to respond to the special counsel’s request for the brief to be made public. The document will then be made available on the public docket for further scrutiny.
