Former President Donald Trump's presidential campaign on Friday blasted United States District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan for unsealing additional evidence that accompanied a brief in Trump's January 6 case.
The judge agreed last week to release the trove of nearly 1,900 pages of new evidence in the case, the majority of which had already been publicly available in other ways, but delayed the order for one week so Trump's team could evaluate litigation options relating to the order.
Trump's team filed a formal request to delay the release until after the presidential election next month, but Chutkan ruled on Thursday night that the request did not satisfy the requirements for keeping it sealed and that Trump's team had ample time to file its rebuttal to the evidence by the existing Nov. 7 deadline.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung slammed the new documents in a statement on Friday, claiming the entire case was a "sham."
