Judge Chutkan to Decide on Unsealing Trump Dossier Ahead of Election

Special Counsel Jack Smith seeks public release of evidence in Trump’s federal election subversion case, with a ruling expected by mid-October.

Jack Smith submitted a 180-page dossier summarizing witness statements about Trump's actions leading up to January 6, 2021.
Judge Tanya Chutkan has given Trump's legal team deadlines of October 1 and October 10 to respond to Smith's motion to unseal the dossier.
Smith argues that the dossier's details are in the public interest and proposes redacting sensitive information, including witness names.
The dossier could become partially unsealed by mid-October, allowing voters to review the evidence before the November election.
This case is one of two federal cases against Trump, who faces multiple felony charges related to election interference and the January 6 insurrection.
