Yes, please.A day after filing a sealed brief seeking to justify his superseding indictment against Donald Trump, special counsel Jack Smith is pushing to file a public version of the brief that includes "substantive" summaries of what investigators learned from witnesses in the former president's federal election interference case.
[...]
In their filing Friday, prosecutors argued that releasing a version of the brief that removes the names of witnesses other than Vice President Mike Pence -- and also redacts nonpublic information sources -- would respect the court's orders and serve the public's interest in the case.
[...]
If permitted by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, the public filing could shed new light on the government's sweeping case against Trump by making public the summaries of information obtained from witness interviews, grand jury testimony, and search warrants.
[...]
"For example, the unredacted substance of what a witness said is more important, for purposes of public access, than the redacted identity of the specific person who said it."
[...]
Judge Chutkan ordered Trump's lawyers to file their objections to the proposed redactions on Tuesday.
A response from the prosecutors is due on Oct 10, meaning the material could possibly become public in mid-October.
