Prosecutors filed the brief under seal, although it's expected to contain new evidence relating to Trump's 2020 election case.
Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed his team's legal brief that lays out new evidence, prosecutors say, in former President Donald Trump's federal election case.A spokesperson for Smith's office confirmed with the Associated Press on Thursday that the brief was filed before the 5 p.m. EST deadline set by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan.
Trump's defense team had argued on Monday that prosecutors should be blocked from filing the brief, given that its page count was significantly higher than what is typically accepted by Chutkan. The judge granted the special counsel's office request to exceed the typical 45-page limit in a motion a day after Trump's objections were filed.
