Report: Judge Agrees To Unseal Additional Filings From Jan. 6 Trump Case

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed to unseal additional filings from special counsel Jack Smith laying out his election interference case against former President Trump

Chutkan agreed to a request from Smith to unseal exhibits that accompany his 180-page brief asserting that prosecutors can still bring much of their Jan. 6 case against Trump in the wake of a Supreme Court decision granting former presidents broad criminal immunity. 

Chutkan granted Smith’s motion to post redacted versions of the exhibits, which could include grand jury transcripts, texts and other evidence assembled by prosecutors.

The Hill reports:

“The court determines that the Government’s proposed redactions to the Appendix are appropriate, and that Defendant’s blanket objections to further unsealing are without merit. As the court has stated previously, ‘Defendant’s concern with the political consequences of these proceedings’ is not a cognizable legal prejudice,’” she wrote.

Trump opposed both the unsealing of Smith’s motion as well as the accompanying evidence.

But Chutkan also agreed to stay her ruling for seven days after an earlier motion from Trump’s legal team asked for additional time “so that President Trump can evaluate litigation options relating to the decision.”

“There should be no further disclosures at this time of the so-called ‘evidence’ that the Special Counsel’s Office has unlawfully cherry-picked and mischaracterized — during early voting in the 2024 Presidential election,” Trump’s team wrote in an earlier filing Thursday.

  1. Just to prove what liars Demorats are, they have added another layer by no committing to certify Trump’s victory and return to the White House. It is beyond belief that anyone would vote to return these sick morons to the White House. Of course, the soccer moms are offended by Donald Trump’s personality so they will be the only bloc of voters that will vote for Harris. It’s hard to believe that these people are supposedly college graduates.

  2. The voters should not be voting on personality. They should be voting for a person that has an ability to lead this great nation! Trump has already been an asset in the White House and ran this country beautifully! I am voting for Trump for his abilities, not his personality. He acts like a President when in office and runs the country and the world like a well oiled machine and is very respectful of the position of POTUS! The Democrats have wreaked havoc on this country and the entire world! They do not know how to run a business let alone a country! Vote on abilities to make our country wealthy again, great again, respected again, at peace again, safe again, and Respected Again!…..Vote for Trump to “Save Our Nation!!!!”
