"The public has been poisoned": Trump files to block Jan. 6 documents from release before election

Salon  

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. “ essential that the public fully understand the arguments and documents on both sides of this momentous issue, and is not misled by one-sided submissions,” Trump’s lawyers wrote. “The public has been poisoned by a one-sided prosecutorial narrative that is being used for political purposes by the incumbent administration,” Trump’s attorneys complained, adding that the case had an “improper impact” on the race.
