Trump Responds to Unsealed Evidence in January 6 Case
News summary

Former President Donald Trump reacted furiously to the unsealing of 165 pages of evidence by Special Counsel Jack Smith in his case concerning the January 6th Capitol riots, which he claims interferes with the upcoming presidential election. The evidence outlines Trump's alleged plans to declare himself the winner of the 2020 election before ballots were counted and his dismissive response to the safety of Vice President Mike Pence during the riot. Trump accused the Biden-Harris administration of using the legal system to undermine democracy and labeled Smith as deranged for pursuing the case. He argues that the Justice Department's actions violate an unspoken rule against election interference within 60 days of a vote, despite no official rule existing. Smith contends that Trump's actions were private and thus not protected by presidential immunity, maintaining the legitimacy of the prosecution. The release of this information comes at a politically charged moment, just 33 days before the election, heightening tensions around Trump's legal battles.
