From the Washington Examiner: Judge Tanya Chutkan denied a motion from former President Donald Trump’s legal team to pause the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 evidence.

The evidence will be released on Friday. Trump’s attorneys had asked Chutkan to delay the release for one month, until Nov. 14, so that they could have time to compile their own evidence to counter whatever Smith has in store.

“If the court withheld information that the public otherwise had a right to access solely because of the potential political consequences of releasing it, that withholding could itself constitute—or appear to be— election interference,” Chutkan said.

“The court will therefore continue to keep political considerations out of its decision-making, rather than incorporating them as Defendant requests.”

Investigative journalist Laura Loomer wrote:

A new dossier consisting of Jack Smith’s “evidence” against President Trump is set to be unsealed tomorrow in a last ditch effort to interfere with the 2024 Presidential election.

Judge Chutkan and Jack Smith have clearly been given marching orders to carry out more lawfare against President Trump in the last 19 days before the presidential election.

However, while Chutkan claims it would be “election interference” if she did not release Jack Smith’s “evidence,” she has reportedly BLOCKED a long list of evidence the Trump team wanted released.

Journalist Kyle Becker shared the following important details in a social media post:

BREAKING.🚨 Judge Tanya Chutkan *BLOCKS* the Trump team’s attempt to get classified records in the January 6 case.

The D.C. circuit judge also appeared to shield records on General Milley’s concession that Donald Trump did seek enhanced security for the 2020 election certification.

In a footnote in the legal document it notes:

“Defendant argues that he is entitled to additional, classified records based on a statement General Milley made to the Committee, offering to disclose additional, classified records. But Defendant proffers no evidence that the Committee ever received those records, much less that the Special Counsel’s Office had access to them, or that those records would be material to this case.”

However, Judge Chutkan did authorize a search for specific records pertaining to Donald Trump’s security meeting with Gen. Mark Milley and former Sec. of Defense Christopher Miller.

“As noted, there is one exception. Defendant cites a public report that includes General Mark Milley’s recollection of a meeting he had a few days before January 6 with Defendant and the Acting Secretary of Defense, Christopher C. Miller.

“According to the report, the meeting’s ‘primary topic … was unrelated to the scheduled rally,’ but…

…at the end of the meeting, the President told Mr. Miller that there would be a large number of protestors on January 6, 2021, and Mr. Miller should ensure sufficient National Guard or Soldiers would be there to make sure it was a safe event. . .

Mr. Miller responded, “We’ve got a plan and we’ve got it covered.”

It turns out, the Pentagon did have a plan. But that plan wasn’t to secure the Capitol on January 6.

“Accordingly, the court will order the Government to search for and produce any additional records within its possession concerning information about security measures that was conveyed to Defendant during his meeting with General Milley and Acting Secretary Miller.”

The J6 judge rejected most of the Trump legal team’s demands for exculpatory evidence on the basis that its requests were “speculative” and placed the burden on the defense to prove Brady rule violations.

“Defendant contends that the Government has failed to comply with its discovery obligations under Brady and Rule 16,” the lawsuit states.

The judge further bats down the Trump legal team’s requests on the basis that, “Five of the fourteen categories of information Defendant seeks specifically request discrete, identified documents. The remaining nine categories are generic requests for ‘all information’ or ‘evidence’ relating to certain topics. As explained below, Defendant has only carried his burden with respect to a small portion of the information he seeks. For most of it, he has proffered only speculation that a search will yield material, noncumulative information.”

Chutkan subsequently shoots down requests for the following types of information:

• 2016 Election Intelligence Community Assessment
• 2020 Election DOJ-DHS Report
• DNI records (Jencks Act material)
• J6 Responsibility Statements
• J6 Select Committee
• CIA records
• Feds working the capitol on J6

The production of these classified documents could further confirm Trump’s desire to enhance capitol security for the election certification, which would prove to be another massive blow to the media’s J6 narrative.
