Donald Trump is trying to stop new evidence concerning his role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol from being released ahead of the election.
In another move to try to staunch the bleeding from special counsel Jack Smith’s incisive investigation, Trump's legal team filed to request that evidence in the case scheduled to become public on Thursday stay sealed. Attorneys for Trump argued that prospective jurors in Trump's election interference case may be prejudiced via “cherry-picked documents” if the documents became public. They asked to pause the release until Trump’s team compiles its response to Smith's bombshell filing after the election.
