Trump sought to delay the release of Friday’s court documents until after the 2024 presidential election.
A federal judge on Friday released more evidence from prosecutors in the election interference case against Donald Trump, after the former president failed to seek an eleventh-hour delay in unsealing the files.
The release of the 1,889 pages of documents by U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan comes after the judge earlier this month released special counsel Jack Smith’s 165-page motion, which contained a wealth of new evidence against Trump in the case.
The documents released Friday are an attachment to the previously unsealed motion in which Smith and his team argued that Trump is not immune from criminal charges related to his efforts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election.
The lengthy appendix contains partially redacted documents previously made publicly available.
Trump’s lawyers filed a motion Thursday to try to delay the appendix’s release until Nov. 14 — nine days after the 2024 presidential election, but Chutkan rejected the arguments.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to the four federal charges against him in the case.
