Democrats are still trying to throw Trump behind bars. They want to before he can be inaugurated in January.
And the Judge in the Trump classified docs case just handed down a big decision.
Judge Tanya Chutkan Makes Trump Case Documents Public Right Before Election
In a significant development in the federal election interference case against former President Donald Trump, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has made additional documents from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation public. This release comes just weeks ahead of the crucial 2024 presidential election.
The documents, which include Smith’s appendix of exhibits, pertain to the ongoing debate over whether Trump possesses a level of presidential immunity that could negate the charges against him. Judge Chutkan ordered the release on Thursday night, with hundreds of pages now accessible to the public.
While some material has been previously disclosed—such as transcripts from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot—other documents include Trump campaign press releases, fundraising emails, White House press conference transcripts, and news articles.
In her ruling, Judge Chutkan referenced Trump’s claims that the “asymmetric release of charged allegations and related documents during early voting creates a concerning appearance of election interference.” She emphasized that withholding information from the public solely due to potential political consequences could itself constitute election interference.
“If the court withheld information that the public otherwise had a right to access solely because of the potential political consequences of releasing it, that withholding could itself constitute — or appear to be — election interference,” she stated. Chutkan reaffirmed that the court would maintain a focus on legal principles rather than political considerations, despite the defense’s requests.

They’re publicly dumping a one-sided political narrative tomorrow.
With the election less than 3 weeks away.

Trump, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges brought against him, faces accusations stemming from his actions after losing the 2020 election. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court ruled that a president is immune from prosecution for official acts, prompting Smith to revise the charges against Trump to comply with this ruling.
In a recently unsealed filing, Smith alleged that Trump “resorted to crimes to try to stay in office” and described a coordinated effort involving private co-conspirators to overturn the legitimate results of the election in seven states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Smith’s claims include assertions of deceitful conspiracy aimed at obstructing the federal government’s processes for counting election results, violating the Electoral Count Act, and infringing on the voting rights of millions of Americans.
This paragraph by Judge Chutkan in the Trump case is unbelievable. She's basically saying if the Court doesn't directly inject itself into the election, that itself would be interfering in the election. pic.twitter.com/2Plv0hIY16
