Judge Chutkan argues that keeping the files under wraps could itself have been construed as vote meddling.

The motion also included new details on how Trump's relationship with Pence deteriorated, with the former vice-president telling Trump to stop repeating false election fraud theories and move on.
The documents released on Friday include transcripts of interviews with the 6 January House committee that investigated the US Capitol riot, parts of Pence’s autobiography and fundraising emails sent to voters.
It is unclear if the 6 January case will ever go to trial. Trump is expected to end the prosecution if he returns to the White House.
He is facing several other criminal cases. He already has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York in relation to a hush-money payment.

We are 8 years into this and the media still constantly tries to downplay what this shithead tried to do to the American people in his neverending quest of greed and narcissism.
Not to be that guy, but you're actually in the wrong here by adding incorrect information. It was not an election interference case. The 34 convictions were for charges of falsified business records. There's nothing actually illegal about paying someone to not talk to the press about something that might affect an election. The problem was how he tried to hide the payments.
But as stated during the trial, the reason he wanted to hide the Stormy stuff was to protect his campaign. So by making a deal with National Enquiry to catch and kill the story to protect his campaign, not his family, means it was a campaign finance violation because he tried to do it on the DL instead of declaring it the legal way.
And you're right that paying someone to stay silent isn't illegal (as long as the thing you're having them stay silent about itself is legal), but doing it in furtherance of his campaign without properly reporting it is illegal. So pretending it's just a casual falsified business records case is downplaying the election interference by trying to hide payouts to protect his campaign bid (electability).
Edit - it was the 2nd crime (election interference) that made each count a felony instead of a misdemeanor.
At lest 50% of the people are not going to vote for him regardless of what the electoral college ends up deciding.
The people don't deserve what the Constitution mandates and they have no way of changing. The incredibly popular Equal Rights Amendment never passed. It had massive public support. Politicians didn't give a shit because most of them were men. And still are.
As you say this, millions of tweens attempt to film themselves partaking in the latest tiktok challenge in hopes of going viral and starting their career as a streamer.
While I wholeheartedly agree, if it's up to 3 impeachments and still no consequences, then impeachment becomes nothing more than a mark on a dude covered in spots.
Something needs to actually happen for it to be of any sort of threat 🫤
No way with this supreme court. They already gave blanket immunity for anything done as president, which is absolutely insane and should have people rioting
well dipshit it wouldn't have been released before the election if you didn't stall and contest literally everything in this case. this is quite literally your own damn fault.
And we knew this was going to come out about now at the beginning of the year. I saw so many experts calling out that the delay measures would put shit like this right at the lead up to the election. Granted they expected trial or deposition stuff, but still, delaying it made a self-own October surprise inevitable.
