A federal judge has unsealed more than 1,800 pages of documents in the U.S. v. Trump case, pertaining to the 2020 election obstruction and subversion allegations against former President Donald Trump. Judge Chutkan ordered the release, which includes an appendix with special counsel Jack Smith's evidence, detailing efforts to contest the 2020 election results. The documents, which were heavily redacted, are part of the ongoing criminal investigation into Trump's actions surrounding the January 6th Capitol riot and his attempts to overturn the 2020 election outcome. The evidence has been publicly docketed.
