JUST IN: Jack Smith Files Evidence Under Seal in Latest Attack Against President Trump
September 26, 2024
Special Counsel Jack Smith filed evidence in the January 6 case in his latest attack against President Trump.
With 40 days to go until the presidential election, Jack Smith sent Judge Tanya Chutkan evidence in the January 6 case.
Judge Chutkan will decide whether to release the filing to the public.
President Trump’s attorneys are expected to object to the release of the filing.
The size of the filing was not disclosed, however, Judge Chutkan granted Jack Smith’s request to file a 180-page ‘opening brief’ on President Trump in the January 6 DC case.
Jack Smith knows he can’t get to trial before the election so he is trying to release a “hit piece” on Trump in the January 6 case as he addresses the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling.
Trump’s attorneys previously asked Chutkan to deny Jack Smith’s request to file a 180-page opening brief because it is quadruple the page limit in DC.
“The Motion is a new development illustrating the unprecedented and irregular nature of the Office’s approach on remand, as they are seeking permission to file a document that would quadruple the standard page limits in this District. The Office cites no case in which such relief was granted, just as they cited no authority for the previous request to file a free-standing brief relating to Presidential immunity that is not responsive to a pending defense motion,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in a 9-page court filing reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
CNN reported:
Filings from special counsel Jack Smith laying out never-before-seen evidence in the election subversion case against Donald Trump – including interview transcripts and notes from an investigation that counted among its witnesses former Vice President Mike Pence, Ivanka Trump and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows – are now in the hands of a federal court.
It will now be up to District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine how much of that evidence the public gets to see and when they will be able to see it.
Prosecutors filed the documents under seal as of 4:40 p.m. ET, according to Peter Carr, the special counsel office’s spokesman.
