Trump campaign condemns 'witch hunt' after Jack Smith court documents released less than three weeks before election

The judge inside of former President Trump The federal election interference case released additional documents Friday from special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the former president, just weeks before the 2024 election.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered the release of additional documents Thursday evening. The hundreds of pages of documents are Smith's evidence in the dispute over whether Trump has a level of presidential immunity that undermines the allegations against him.

“Radical Democrats are determined to interfere in the presidential election on behalf of Lyin' Kamala Harris,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital. “With just over two weeks until Election Day, President Trump is dominating this race and crazy liberals across the Deep State are panicking.”

Cheung added: “According to the Supreme Court's historic decision on presidential immunity and other key case law, this entire case is a sham and a partisan, unconstitutional witch hunt that should be dismissed in its entirety – as should ALL remaining Democratic hoaxes.”

Most sites made available to the public remain sealed and inaccessible to the public. Much of the unsealed material was previously released in some form, including transcripts from the House Select Committee on Jan. 6. Other documents include old Trump campaign press releases, fundraising emails, transcripts of White House press conferences and news articles.

In the order for the release of the documents, Chutkan quoted Trump's claim that the “The asymmetric release of indicted allegations and related documents during early voting creates a troubling appearance of election interference.”

According to the judge, while there is a public interest in the courts not getting involved in elections, “there is a real risk that the relief sought by the defendant will undermine that public interest.”

“If the court withholds information that the public would otherwise have a right to access solely because of the potential political consequences of its release, that withholding could itself constitute — or appear to be — election interference,” she argued.

In a filing unsealed earlier this month, Smith outlined a “factual allegation” in which he accused Trump of “resorting to crime to attempt to remain in office” after he lost the 2020 presidential election.

“With private co-conspirators, the defendant embarked on a series of increasingly desperate schemes to overturn the legitimate election results in seven states he lost – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,” Smith wrote.
