Special counsel Jack Smith filed his highly anticipated presidential immunity court filing on Thursday, which is expected to contain a trove of evidence to support his election interference charges against former President Donald Trump.
The document remained under seal on Friday, and it was unclear when or if presiding Judge Tanya Chutkan would unseal a redacted version.
Smith spokesman Peter Carr confirmed to the Washington Examiner in a brief statement that prosecutors had submitted the filing, saying they “complied with the court’s order.”

It may be Smith’s last chance before the election to showcase evidence he has gathered against Trump, but what the public is able to see of it remains unclear.
Smith’s team had indicated it would submit both a sealed version of the document and a version for the public that would have sensitive information redacted, but Trump’s defense team and Chutkan must also review the redacted version before the judge unseals it.
