Judge Approves Limited Evidence Release in Trump Case Ahead of Election

Oct 11, 2024, 02:00 AM

A federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case approved a limited release of a compilation of evidence against him on Thursday but stayed her order for a week to allow Trump's legal team to challenge the disclosure. The special counsel had sought the release of the evidence ahead of the upcoming election. Trump's attorneys are urging the judge not to disclose further evidence in the weeks before Election Day, arguing that such releases could prejudice potential jurors.
