Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a sealed legal brief Thursday in the case against former President Donald Trump alleging he plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Prosecutors said the brief will contain sensitive, previously unseen evidence and aim to persuade Judge Tanya Chutkan that all allegations should remain in the case.
Prosecutors said earlier this month that they intended to present a"detailed factual proffer" in hopes of persuading the judge that the allegations in the indictment should not be dismissed and should remain part of the caseSpecial counsel Jack Smith on Thursday filed, under seal, a legal brief that prosecutors have said would contain sensitive and previously unseen evidence in the case charging former President Donald Trump with plotting to overturn the 2020 election he lost.
The Trump team has vigorously objected to the filing, calling it unnecessary and saying it could lead to the airing of unflattering details in the “sensitive” pre-election time period. The brief is the opening salvo in a restructured criminal case following the Supreme Court's opinion in July that said former presidents are presumptively immune for official acts they take in office but are not immune for their private acts.
