Special Counsel Files New Evidence in Trump’s Federal Election Case

Judge Chutkan to decide on public release of 180-page brief detailing Trump's efforts to overturn 2020 election.

Special Counsel Jack Smith submitted a nearly 200-page brief with new evidence in Trump's federal election case, but it remains under seal pending redactions.
Judge Tanya Chutkan will determine which parts of the brief can be made public, with the decision impacting the timeline for the case.
The brief includes grand jury transcripts and other sensitive materials, which require approval from both Smith's office and Trump's defense before release.
Trump's legal team argues that releasing the brief before the election would be unfair and could influence the jury pool.
The Supreme Court's recent ruling grants Trump some immunity for official acts but allows prosecution for unofficial actions, leaving key decisions to Judge Chutkan.
