Judge in Trump's Jan. 6 case rules additional evidence will be unsealed Friday

The judge in Donald Trump's election interference case has ordered that a filing containing additional evidence gathered by the special counsel be released on Friday.
abcnews.go.com

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's federal election interference case, in an order late Thursday, denied the former president's last-minute request to block the release of additional evidence gathered by special counsel Jack Smith.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that the court will unseal, on Friday, the redacted appendix from the immunity motion filed earlier this month by Smith that included new details about Trump and his allies' actions leading up to the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.

In ruling that the evidence would be publicly released, Chutkan pushed back on Trump's argument that the release was politically motivated to influence the 2024 presidential election.

Rumor is this is some 1200 more pages of bad news for The Donald.
 
Yet another "hail mary". Except it is not Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball.

Wait, this is just a coincidence and part of the regular process, right? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Chutken would be criticized if she did or didn't release this. Her opinion noted that it would be election interference to withhold information about a candidate. That would deny the truth to voters. I agree completely.

MAGAs are complaining about the general public seeing evidence in Trump's coup case. You should be considering that he's the one who committed those crimes and he's trying to get back into the WH again. It's the most bizzarro thing I've ever seen in American politics in my lifetime.

Even though the GOP is breaking their backs to memory hole J-6th and the 2-month attempted coup, there are millions of us who won't forget. If this new information (Evidence) changes just a few minds about Trump, it's worth it.

Trump should be counting his lucky stars that we're not having live hearings with real witnesses. Because that is what the SC authorized.
 
I love it, the Republicans on here want transparency, unless it's donald's info. Chutkan is going to make sure the people of America get as much information as possible unlike the republicans who do nothing but try to hide info and delay.

In all fairness to Trump's lawyers, they were just doing what was in their client's best interest. It was the Supreme Courts willingness to hear the immunity case that caused this. They didn't have to do this. It's totally bonkers to give any pretense of immunity to anyone in a rule of law democracy. But here we are.

Why are so many people against knowing the facts? When you do hear them the right will then come up with more bullshit probably starting with the lawfare bullshit because after all, law and order does not apply to the party of law and order.
 
There has been no trial in this federal case.

What do you mean "it's worth it"? To what "cost" are you referring?

"Facts" without full context can be misleading. Do you agree?

Let's try to stay on the straight and narrow, ok? This isn't about facts in general, this is about the facts contained in trump's indictment. So let's not get into a rabbit hole.

Yes it is, I agree. Can the "facts" presented in these documents considered to be in full context? All of them? Before a trial?

It's all we have. You do realize that there is a majority in this country who would have preferred to see him tried and sentenced or acquitted before the election.

The mere fact that he gets to hide this information is the election interference he so much complains about. The judge was correct.

I'll tell you what, Trump didn't do himself any favors with his comments at the Univision TH. He referred to the J-6 rioters as 'We' and the LE as them. He admitted he was part of the rioting group more than once. That'll be used against him in court.

The first indictment is full of context and evidence. Are you hoping that will change? Why would Smith remove the evidence and context?

Yes, by reading the indictment. YEs and yes.

When are they not? What reason would these COURT documents have for being kept secret?

Because Donald Trump has replaced Jesus Christ for the most racist Republicans among us.

So he has to be protected.
 



hahahaha- they must really be desperate now. Hahahaha


At this point, folks - these so-called "evidence," are just all allegations.


During a trial, the other side can do a counter.
In a TRIAL PROCEEDINGS, an evidence can be refuted, and shown to be not an evidence at all.


BUT the way the judge had done this now - we see the blatant weaponization of the justice system.




They mean to smear Trump, and sway public opinion just before an election.
Actually.....................this is a form of election interference.

I don't think you'd call it desperation. I think you'd call it curiosity. If evidence exists that proves Trump is guilty of the charges against him, it is IMO that the American voters have a right to that information.

Judging from how things are going, the courts must agree with us because I don't see any emergency stays or injunctions stopping it from becoming public. In fact, the SC that you guys praise all the time for their conservative rulings have instructed the judge to have hearings regarding this evidence.

In short, you're barking up the wrong proverbial tree. Go complain to Alito and Thomas.
