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.

trump should not even be needing to present evidence, this witch hunt is leftist criminal activity that exposes how corrupt our "justice system" is,
it is perfectly fitting that the deep state thugs would prop up a corrupt former prosecutor like Kamala Harris as their VP next to brain dead Joe after the recent FBI/CIA coup that we are supposed to believe was an "election"
P.E.A.D.s
And the Nuclear Orders (not codes, protocols).
Im sure the judge will let it in. Like never.
This trial, charge, coup, or whatever word you want to put on it is a sham.
of course he is evil, he is a political figure in charge of military weapons, how could he NOT be evil
I think what you mean is he is no more evil than other political war dogs, KGB is no more evil than CIA/FBI, Obama/Biden/Hillary/Bush/LBJ/etc etc VS Putin ? ,
I would say the string of US presidents have done FAR more death and destruction for evil purposes than Putin could even come close to
our media propaganda force feeds us biased information to make us believe the USA is some icon of purity and justice, hell we can't even manage our own corruption and war mongering .....but Russia did this or that....LOL !!!
Don’t post to me any more. Life is too short to read the comments of people are ignorant doomers.
I think some of us kind of knew this was coming. Trump engineered these indictments specifically to bring fraud evidence into the public domain.
they are closer to the camera...
The term for Trump’s decision to expose the foreign interference in 2016 and 2020 is called “gaymail”.
It’s a very valid defense to the bogus charges against him.
This leaves the prosecutor with a huge problem. The evidence Trump has is very damaging to the deep state and proves the election fraud.
Jack Smith’s only other option is to drop the charges and end the case.
Further evidence that Jack Smith isn’t very bright.
“ Trump called out China in the 2020 campaign, probably wasn’t just them. Could easily be anyone from Russia to Israel. Many international interests had a lot to lose if Trump was reelected.”
Does Vindman ring a bell? This is going to expose Biden with ties to Ukraine. And after learning this, Israel is attacked? It’s no coincidence.
(Waits patiently for his evidence to be disallowed, even before he presents it, because “it’s classified, and the courtroom isn’t a SCIF”, and “Any illegal disclosure is a violation of federal law and will be prosecuted accordingly”).
He was more mentally aware, but still not enough to avoid saying the silent part out loud.
Sure wish there was a credible source for this
Hoft often isn’t much more than a rumor mill
Not saying it’s untrue, but like anything else, “trust, but verify,,”
Will he back out again, I wonder?
later
He can if he declassified them when he WAS still president (and some would argue that he still is president, given that he “lost” in a fraudulent farce of an “election”).
could the Resident have just re-classified them??
Wish we could have a “prayer-athon” for him.
Good. Ball it up and cram it down their collective throat, Mr. President! MAGA!
it ‘could be’ that the attys are saying this to get the DA to drop the case
I hope this is true, and that the Gatewaypundit isn’t creating yet another sensational “thing” that turns out to be a nothing-burger.
You remember the “Kraken”... ?
