US District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan on Thursday approved the release of redacted evidence against former President Donald Trump in his federal election interference case. The order’s timing is significant; it comes less than one month prior to the 2024 elections, in which Trump is a core candidate, and in the aftermath of a US Supreme Court ruling granting broad immunity for presidential acts.

Well, if the courts won’t act on the evidence, at least releasing it might lead to breaking the tie for the election he shouldn’t be eligible to run in.
Defendant’s blanket objections to further unsealing are without merit. As the court has stated previously, “Defendant’s concern with the political consequences of these proceedings” is not a cognizable legal prejudice
“Political Consequences” = Your honor, the evidence should not be unsealed because it makes my client look bad!
