Judge Chutkan ruled against Trump's request for a delay and ordered that a redacted version of Jack Smith's 1/6 evidence against Trump be released tomorrow.
MSNBC legal analyst Kristy Greenberg wrote:
Judge Chutkan denied Trump's request for a delay and will order the redacted exhibits on Jack Smith's assignment to be released tomorrow. And that's not all. She embraced Trump
with an important lesson about the importance of election interference in schools:
“If the court withholds information to which the public would otherwise have a right to access, solely because of the potential political consequences of its publication, that withholding could itself constitute, or give the appearance of, electoral interference.” The court will therefore continue to consider political considerations from its Keeping decision-making out rather than including it at the defendant's request. Any argument about what must or should not happen before the election is irrelevant here
Trump has desperately tried to prevent the release of the 1/6 evidence against Jack Smithalso in redacted form, before the election. Trump already felt how powerful the 1/6 theme is when he visibly put off voters at the Univision town hall by declaring 1/6 a day of love.
The reason Trump and his party have tried to rewrite the history of their attempt to overthrow the government on 6/1/2021 is because they know the power the 1/6 question has with voters.
Donald Trump doesn't want the country to see the special counsel's evidence of the alleged crimes the former president committed.
The evidence that Trump refuses to show voters will be released in redacted form while the next president is voted on.
