"New details emerged in an attached transcript of an interview with Trump's then-valet, conducted by the Jan. 6 committee.
The valet said he informed Trump his speech was "cut off" on TV because his supporters were rioting at the Capitol " drawing frustration, about the speech, from Trump. Then, he got Trump a Diet Coke as the former president watched the riot unfold.
Based on the transcript, it appeared that the valet reviewed time-stamped images of his interactions with Trump throughout the interview. The transcript was released by House Republicans earlier this year, but they opted to redact that section of the testimony.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who oversees the trial proceedings, released the information against objections from Trump, suggesting his desire to shield the information due to the election amounted to its own form of interference.
"If the court withheld information that the public otherwise had a right to access solely because of the potential political consequences of releasing it, that withholding could itself constitute"or appear to be" election interference," she wrote in a Thursday night order requiring the documents' release.

Spread out over four filings totaling 1,889 pages, the trove includes grand jury testimony, communications and other documents assembled by prosecutors.
The exhibits support a 165-page brief filed by Smith earlier this month breaking down his case against Trump in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that determined former presidents retain broad immunity from criminal prosecution for many of their core official actions.
Prosecutors argue Trump's effort to thwart the transfer of power was almost entirely carried out as a private citizen. Trump's attorneys are due to respond in the days following November's presidential election."

Thank you for being unconsciously self-disparaging with every underwhelming post.
A lot of libs are intolerant of criminal traitor Presidents, a lot of Republicans treat them like the Daddy they need in their lives.
