Special counsel Jack Smith has requested the public release of significant evidence regarding Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, arguing it's in the public interest.
In a lengthy court filing, Smith indicated that revealing grand jury testimonies and interviews with key witnesses would further the public's understanding of the case against Trump.
Smith aims to balance transparency with witness protection, suggesting that while names of lesser-known witnesses should be redacted, the substance of their testimonies should be publicly accessible.
This push for evidence disclosure is a response to the Supreme Court's immunity ruling, which provides former presidents substantial protections from prosecution based on official acts.
