The judge overseeing Donald Trump's federal election interference case, in an order late Thursday, denied the former president's last-minute request to block the release of additional evidence gathered by special counsel Jack Smith.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that the court will unseal, on Friday, the redacted appendix from the immunity motion filed earlier this month by Smith that included new details about Trump and his allies' actions leading up to the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.

In ruling that the evidence would be publicly released, Chutkan pushed back on Trump's argument that the release was politically motivated to influence the 2024 presidential election.

It will take a lot more than that. MAGA faithful are less than 30% of the country. Every new detail about how awful Trump is shaves another few voters away. And it's only going to take a few.

Thanks for the perspective. I want to agree with you. Pessimistically, I feel like I'm watching a train wreck. My family is reducing their voting to single issue so they don't have to feel guilty about who they are voting for. I have to imagine that there will be many Republicans that choose not to vote because they can't bring themselves to vote for either.
