Judge unseals details in special counsel's election case against Trump
Summary: A judge has unsealed new details in the special counsel's election interference case against Donald Trump. Prosecutors claim Trump used illegal methods to try to overturn the 2020 election results while acting as a private citizen.
The filing outlines Trump's alleged actions, including pressuring state officials and attempting to create fraudulent electoral votes. Prosecutors plan to call witnesses, including election officials and Trump's former deputy chief of staff, at trial.
Trump's lawyers oppose the unsealing, calling it improper and claiming it could influence the upcoming election. Trump criticized the timing, labeling it "election interference" and accusing Democrats of using the Justice Department against him.
