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.
Can anyone explain to me what makes this trial “special”?
As in: In what kind of trial do you have to UNSEAL evidences ?
Should they not all be brought up to the court as soon as they are available to have a fair trial ? Why is the defendant even able to ask for the evidence to not be used ? I’m struggeling to make sens of this…
