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.

What makes people think Trump will be allowed to present evidence on his behalf? The Constitution? Does Trump suddenly have rights?
Probably what the unconstitutional treasonous Feds were after in the Mar Lago raid.
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.

Won’t matter. At. All.
Our corrupt government is over run with corrupt actors, who care nothing about truth, facts, law, honor, integrity, etc.
Eliminating Trump is all that matters. Trump could say the sky is blue, and they will put him in prison for colluding.
He cannot divulge classified documents without permission... he is no longer president.
I have little faith that this will go anywhere.
The USCS refused to hear Trump’s case. They said that the Presidential candidate in a Presidential race had no standing.
Just that on it’s face is incredible.
Democrat Chuck Schumer and his friends over there don't see it that way.
And now it is starting to come out.
What, people thought all those raids by the FBI were in pursuit of justice? All the Homeland (In)Security shenanigans? The CIA ops?
Nope. They were all about CYA. Even the kangaroo court sham trials are about CYA.
The bad guys “jumped the shark.”
But apparently Trump kept backups.
Discovery is a wonderful tool in court.
GAME ON, azz####s.
“ What makes people think Trump will be allowed to present evidence on his behalf? The Constitution? Does Trump suddenly have rights?”
Right. Nothing of that nature will be allowed to be presented as it will expose what’s really been going on.
PS: add: United Kingdom
Why didn't he present this classified information while he was still President? It would have been more appropriate and timely then.
Now they're going to go after him (again) for holding on to classified documents.
Watch them slap more charges against Trump for having these classified documents.
Jack Smith doesn’t and shouldn’t have the clearance to see it.
A goddamn traitor who tries to take out the President of the United States using illegitimate power and phony “evidence” has no business seeing ANY classified information. The SOB shouldn’t even have a Confidential.
Q, is that you?
Maybe he did not have it then.
This could be from post presidential source.
Ah...so was that what the FBI looking for when they stormed Mar A Lago?
Now I wonder if this evidence is what was being searched for in the Mar a Lago raid??
Leak to a friendly media....... just play by the Deep State’s rules!
Feds will seize all such evidence on the name of National Security...........
