OK this is a new thing. Jack Smith relied on the Jan. 6 committee's interview with Trump's White Hous valet. House Republicans released this transcript earlier this year, but it was significantly redacted.

Smith's excerpt includes portions that were previously unreleased. Image
Image
The valet describes getting Trump a Diet Coke while he got positioned to watch footage of his speech and the riot. The reason it seems like the House GOP version was redacted? The valet appears to be reviewing timestamped photos of his interactions with Trump.
This is in volume 1 of Smith's filing: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Volume 2 is entirely a compendium of tweets, mostly by Trump some by others. Here's what the Twitter-curated version of the "Will be wild" tweet looks like. Image
Volume 3: Image
Someone on Jack Smith's team had to manually highlight passages from Pence's book. Image
Image
Volume 3 is a grab bag of preivously public materials: Pence book excerpts, press releases from state leaders re: election results, Images of elector certificates: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NEW: Could a defeated Donald Trump subvert the 2024 election?

The answer: Yes, BUT the path is far narrower, even more extreme and would require an enormous amount of help from GOP power brokers — who first need to win their own elections.

Our deep dive: politico.com/news/magazine/…Image

We talked to dozens of experts, election officials, legislators, etc. They all agree Trump’s path starts with what he’s already doing — sowing deep distrust about election integrity. That’s the precondition for leveraging Rs in statehouses and Congress. politico.com/news/magazine/…Image
Image
But Trump isn’t president. He doesn’t have the military or DOJ to wield to this end. And the updated Electoral Count Act has, on paper, foreclosed most routes to subversion. Thats why he would need congressional Rs to embrace fringe legal theories to sidestep the laws. politico.com/news/magazine/…Image

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Chutkan has just ordered Jack Smith's evidence docketed publicly. Should go live any moment.
This seems like it could be voluminous, though it's unclear how much is redacted. Image
It's a lot of pages, still unclear how much is redacted or already publicly available. Image

BREAKING: Judge Chutkan has denied Trump's effort to block a new dossier of Jack Smith's evidence from becoming public.

She says she will unseal it tomorrow.
Chutkan says Trump's request to block the filing because of election considerations is not persuasive and that just because her decisions may have an effect on politics isn't the same as "intentional interference." Image
Image
In fact, Chutkan says that withholding the filing — which is of high public interest — because of its effect on the election would be the actual election interference Trump warns of. Image

NEW: Courts have chipped away at the Justice Department’s cases against Jan. 6 rioters — and several other threats loom that could further erode what has been the largest and most complex federal probe in history.

1) Many of DOJ’s recent cases have relied on a “geofence” warrant to Google — using devices’ location tracking to identify people inside the restricted area of the Capitol on Jan. 6. But the 5th Circuit recently found geofence warrants are unconstitutional
politico.com/news/2024/09/2…
The 5th Circuit isn’t the final word — and a couple other courts have ruled differently — but the issue could be another SCOTUS showdown that limits DOJ’s tools.
