Judge Denies Most of Trump's Requests for Evidence in Jan. 6 Case

Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled against Trump's demands for additional evidence, stating his claims lacked sufficient basis.

Judge Tanya Chutkan rejected most of Trump's requests for evidence in the 2020 election interference case, allowing only three out of 14 categories.
Chutkan dismissed Trump's argument that his concerns about foreign interference justified his false claims of domestic voter fraud.
The ruling emphasized that Trump's claims of election fraud were unrelated to foreign cyberattacks, undermining his defense strategy.
Trump sought evidence on alleged undercover agents at the Capitol on Jan. 6, but the judge found no basis for such claims.
The case against Trump, which includes charges of conspiracy and obstruction, continues to progress slowly amid ongoing legal challenges.
