On Wednesday, Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed the 165-page motion filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith in the federal government’s effort to fight former President Donald Trump’s immunity defense in his criminal prosecution related to his alleged efforts to interfere in the 2020 election.

In August, Smith filed a superseding indictment against Trump that was tailored to reflect the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. United States on the issue of presidential immunity. A superseding indictment replaces a previous existing indictment, and in the new version, Smith brought the same four charges he had brought before.

The 165-page motion that was unsealed Wednesday afternoon still contains substantial redactions but does give a roadmap of the evidence that the government believes shows that Trump “resorted to crimes to stay in office,” making a “private criminal effort” that was separate and distinct from his official presidential duties, and therefore not protected by presidential immunity.

Trump had objected to the release of this motion, arguing that its release would constitute interference in the upcoming November election.
