Nearly 1,900 pages of documents provide small glimpse into evidence prosecutors will present if case goes to trial
Photograph: Shannon Stapleton/ReutersPhotograph: Shannon Stapleton/ReutersThe judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.
The information that could be seen in the redacted version released Friday appeared to be material that for the most part had already been made public, including screenshots of Trump social media posts about the 2020 election and a transcript of the video statement he made on 6 January 2021 in, which he told the rioters attacking the Capitol to go home, but added: “we love you” and “you’re very special”.
Other information visible to the public includes passages from former vice-president Mike Pence’s book, excerpts of testimony provided by several witnesses to the House committee that investigated the January 6 riot and a transcript of Trump’s phone call pressuring Georgia election officials to “find” enough votes to reverse his election loss in the state to Democrat Joe Biden.
