Former President Donald Trump asked a judge on Tuesday to order special counsel Jack Smith to redact more of his highly anticipated presidential immunity brief before it becomes public.

“The true motivation driving the efforts by the Special Counsel’s Office to disseminate witness statements that they previously sought to lock down is as obvious as it is inappropriate,” Trump’s attorneys wrote.

The defense attorneys accused prosecutors of wanting “their politically motivated manifesto to be public” in the final month of the 2024 election, in which Trump is the Republican presidential candidate.
