Judge in Trump election interference case unseals trove of documents

Nearly 1,900 pages of documents provide small glimpse into evidence prosecutors will present if case goes to trial

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith's team were initially filed under seal to help US district judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the supreme court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.
