Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said one part of last week’s joint filing from prosecutors and Donald Trump’s legal team ― in the former president’s 2020 election subversion case ― could pave the way for more details about Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the last presidential election result to be made public ahead of the 2024 vote.
In the document, special counsel Jack Smith’s team proposed filing an opening brief which contested the presidential immunity that the Supreme Court granted to Trump for actions conducted while in office.
And prosecutors said they could file it “promptly at any time the court deems appropriate,” they added.
It was the “money line” and “most telling” because Smith’s team was essentially saying it had more information on Trump’s alleged conduct that isn’t yet in the public domain, suggested Kirschner in the latest episode of his “Justice Matters” series that he shared on YouTube.
How U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the case, rules on that line will determine whether American voters will hear more allegations about Trump before he faces Democratic nominee Kamala Harris at the ballot box in November, he added.
