Former President Donald Trump’s defense team filed a new motion on Thursday indicating that the former president will present classified information exposing foreign interference in both the 2016 and 2020 U.S. Presidential elections. This move comes amidst a contentious legal battle by Judge Tanya Chutkan and led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
In August, Trump was hit with four counts in Jack Smith’s sham January 6 case up in DC: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
“From on or about November 14, 2020, through on or about January 20, 2021, in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, the Defendant, DONALD J. TRUMP, did knowingly combine, conspire, confederate, and agree with co-conspirators, known and unknown to the Grand Jury, to injure, oppress, threaten, and intimidate one or more persons in the free exercise and enjoyment of a right and privilege secured to them by the Constitution and laws of the United States —that is, the right to vote, and to have one’s vote counted,” according to the indictment.
According to the motion submitted on Thursday by Trump’s counsel, led by attorneys John F. Lauro and Todd Blanche, Trum plans to introduce classified evidence during the trial. This evidence is said to disclose activities of foreign influence that affected both the 2016 and 2020 U.S. Presidential elections, thereby substantiating his efforts to overturn the election results.
The court document read:
The Indictment in this case adopts classified assessments by the Intelligence Community and others that minimized, and at times ignored, efforts by foreign actors to influence and interfere with the 2020 election.
President Trump will offer classified information at trial relating to foreign influence activities that impacted the 2016 and 2020 elections, as well as efforts by his administration to combat those activities.
President Trump will also present classified information relating to the biased and politicized nature of the intelligence assessments that he and others rejected during the events in question.
Collectively, this evidence will undercut central theories of the prosecution and establish that President Trump acted at all times in good faith and on the belief that he was doing what he had been elected to do.

Bullshit.
Why doesn’t the new speaker release all the J6 video?
Wasn't Netanyahu the first foreign leader to congratulate Biden after the stolen election?

I’m curious. Wh“From on or about November 14, 2020, through on or about January 20, 2021, in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, the Defendant, DONALD J.

I’m curious. Which persons did Trump prevent from voting? His position as I understand it was that vast numbers of votes were “counted” unlawfully.
Where is “the right to have one’s vote counted” in the Constitution or applicable law codes?
If this “right” is just implicit, the corollary is equally the case: lawful voters have the right not to have their legitimate votes cancelled by the counting of unlawful votes in the official tally. Trump was acting to protect the rights of lawful voters. The indictment itself contains the seeds of Trump’s exoneration.
I’m going to guess the ChiComs.
Indeed.
Those who can't see Putin for the evil thug that he is, for example, are ineducable.
Then there are his stooges who willfully support him and cover for him ...
> elections are conducted on the state level. the general manner in which they are conducted is mostly up to the individual states. states cannot classify evidence of cheating in state elections as secret in the federal level sense. jack smith is prosecuting in a federal trial. so perhaps it is a jurisdiction thing and neither smith nor the judge have any ability to claim that the defense evidence is classified. or perhaps they can attempt to make such claims but the claims won’t hold water due to jurisdictional considerations alone (which if the reasoning holds, should be sufficient to allow filing). (or, i could be wrong somehow...)
i suppose the info could be classified if it crossed international boundaries and/or involved actions of adverse foreign agents.
however, trump could avoid that by having declassified such evidence in advance. hopefully if that is the case, he would have declassified it contemporaneously in writing, and saved the appropriately dated paperwork, which if true might indeed constitute 5D chess...
DC juries don’t care about exculpating evidence.
Why wouldn’t he?
Yes.
Airplanes are literally bigger than Chicago, in size.
If the Chincs turn out to bed one of the Countries caught with their hand in the cookie jar, does that Make Gen Milley a Traitor guilty of Treason for giving aid and comfort to the enemy?
True, and that judge doesn’t either. Hopefully the appeals court will or SCOTUS
Brilliant. His own words.
Wasn't Netanyahu the first foreign leader to congratulate Biden after the stolen election?
Why wouldn’t he?
Because the election was corrupt and stolen?
Iran, Russia, Israel, China, North Korea, at the least.
