A federal judge on Friday gave lawyers for Donald Trump four days to challenge the partial public release of a nearly 200-page special counsel filing on why the former president can be criminally prosecuted for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
In an order posted on the public docket of Trump’s criminal case in Washington, U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan gave Trump until noon Tuesday to dispute the government proposals on what to disclose and keep secret in its massive filing, and until Oct. 10 to object to similar proposed redactions in four attached documentary exhibits. The filing is a key part of the criminal case alleging Trump illegally attempted to overturn Joe Biden’s electoral victory, and it was expected to reveal new details of the evidence investigators had gathered.
Prosecutors said the main filing could include roughly 90 pages of new and previously disclosed facts explaining why Trump should still face trial after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in July that gave presidents broad immunity from prosecution for their official actions.
Chutkan also made public a request by prosecutors to keep certain sensitive information secret in its opening immunity briefing filed Thursday. That sensitive information includes the names of witnesses other than those already identified in Trump’s 36-page indictment — such as former vice president Mike Pence — grand jury testimony, materials obtained through sealed search warrants, transcripts and reports of witness interviews, and materials obtained from other governmental entities, prosecutors wrote.

October surprise. DOJ interfering in our election, blatant interference.
Chutkan needs to be investigated for election interference, malfeasance, etc.,
The same tactic why kamala wanted a second debate.
2 Corinthians 2:11
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”
King James Version (KJV)
Another honky male hating, Voo Doo Hoo Doo Jamaican interfering in America’s business and elections. Deport her ass back to Kingston. What happened? Did America run out of “judges” and “lawyers” and now has to import them from third world Banana Republics?
"transcripts and reports of witness interviews, and materials obtained from other governmental entities", AKA, Redacting ALL Evidence mitigating Trump's involvement, witnesses not consistent with The Narrative, etc.
Chutkan is not a Judge; she's just doing as she's instructed, to point fingers at Trump, later to be over-turned on Appeal (AFTER the Election), if a non-purchased Judge/Jury Rules on the Case.
Why Smith has been allowed to carry on his charade without being Congressionally authorized seems to make the entire case moot and a waste of money and resources. Why the House and Senate Judiciary Committees did not shut him down at the outset makes them appear as useful as the United Nations.
And why censor any of the testimony when surely most of it backs up President Trump’s side? Another example of D.C. over-classifying information that actually belongs to the people.
"Oh look, the bad Orange Man is trying to cover up his foul deeds!"🙄
As always!
Then the obligatory “his efforts to OVERTURN the results of the 2020 election.”
Every writer who uses this phrase is a complete tool. They take as prima facie that all vote counts were legitimate. Trump and team never argued for over overturning genuine votes, but overturning illegitimate ones.
It’s like playing Monopoly. Before long, one person can’t be bankrupted, even though their luck on the board is the same as everyone else. You count the money in the bank and how much everyone is holding. There is more money in circulation than comes with the game. All the players deny cheating. None of them have standing to do anything about it.
Will it never end ?
Exactly. No one cared about legal votes, irregardless of who they were for. It was when you had states say they’re going to stop counting, everyone goes home and magically a whole pile of Joe Biden vote show up with no explanation, etc.
Precisely. The premise of “overturning” is patently false, and anyone who asserts otherwise should be called out on it and shamed.
I’ve never heard of a criminal trial where the prosecution is making a massive effort to publicly release all their evidence prior to a jury being seated. Pure jury tampering and politics. That’s what we get from a Jamaican communist judge.
Chutkin’s only job now is to get Kamala elected so she will rule against Trump in every way possible.
90 days out the Government can’t interfere in an election. Of course this doesn’t concern Judge Chutkan, Jack Smith, or Merrick Garland.
I agree. My first motion would be to throw out all of Smith’s case because he has no authority to file it. Until Judge Cannon’s ruling is overturned by a higher court, Smith is an illegitimate prosecutor. None of his filing’s are legal.
All of this is a Due Process violation. Why can’t Trump take this to appeal then the USSC.
Any communications with anyone in his administration is covered by the immunity decision and cannot be a part of any case. So let’s see where this goes.
“partial public release of a nearly 200-page special counsel filing”
The release to the public by the prosecutor should be either complete or not at all.
Defense counsel must be furnished with all relevant material.
Defense counsel should be able to release what it wants if not classified.
That corrupt black -itch Chutkan needs to be thrown off the bench and charged with corruption. She is the farthest thing from a judge and is nothing more than a partisan hack in a black robe.
