WASHINGTON (AP) — 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 U.S. 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.

That’s gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

    Talking heads tonight should be fun!

    "Most of the pages are completely redacted and believed to include grand jury transcripts and notes from FBI interviews conducted during the yearslong investigation.

    The documents that are visible largely contain information that’s already been released publicly, including a transcript of Trump’s call with the Georgia secretary of state after the 2020 election where Trump asked him to “find” votes, photos of the 2020 fake elector certificates, and Vice President Mike Pence’s letter to Congress explaining why he could not reject congressional certification of the election on January 6, 2021."
