Donald Trump spoke out on Wednesday after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., publicly released a brief on presidential immunity from special counsel Jack Smith in the 2020 election subversion case against the former president.

In a flurry of posts to Truth Social, Trump warned of election interference, arguing that the filing’s appearance on the public docket so close to the 2024 contest boosts a political scheme to undermine his current campaign.

“Democrats are Weaponizing the Justice Department against me because they know I am WINNING, and they are desperate to prop up their failing Candidate, Kamala Harris,” Trump said in a post to his social media platform.

He also questioned the timing, contending that it came “immediately” after Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s “disastrous” performance in the vice presidential debate and a little more than a month before the election.

The filing was submitted under seal last week. Federal judge Tanya Chutkan was the one who ordered its release.

Chutkan wrote Trump’s team provided “no support” to claims of “bad-faith partisan bias” and rejected the defense’s push for redactions beyond names to protect witnesses, citing the public’s “need to understand” the document.

The 165-page filing discusses how prosecutors’ superseding indictment should be able to abide by the Supreme Court’s ruling in July that presidents have immunity for official acts.

It also addresses evidence gathered by Smith’s team allegedly showing how Trump and others “launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to overturn” the 2020 election.

Defense lawyers had previously argued that the debate over grappling with the presidential immunity issue should wait until at least December, but Chutkan said the court was “not concerned” with the schedule of the 2024 election.

Trump has pleaded not guilty in the D.C. case, which got delayed as the courts weighed his presidential immunity claims. Smith’s second case against him — one related to classified documents — has been tossed by a judge in Florida.

Alluding to the dismissal, Trump said in one of his posts to Truth Social that the 2020 election case “is a Partisan, Unconstitutional, Witch Hunt, that should be dismissed, entirely, just like the Florida case was dismissed!”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed Vice President Kamala Harris this week for supporting the port strikes on the East Coast that threaten to bring the U.S. economy to its knees.

Tens of thousands of dock workers who are members of the International Longshoremen’s Association walked off the job at midnight on Tuesday at ports along the East and Gulf coasts.

In her only statement on the matter, Harris showed no regard for the billions of dollars a day in damage the strike is causing the U.S. economy.

“This strike is about fairness,” she claimed. “Foreign-owned shipping companies have made record profits and executive compensation has grown. The Longshoremen, who play a vital role transporting essential goods across America, deserve a fair share of these record profits.”

At a press conference on Wednesday, DeSantis, who is leading hurricane recovery efforts in his state and is also helping surrounding states, said: “One of the things I’m concerned about is potentially these ports getting hung up.”

“I think it’s totally unacceptable to try to intentionally deprive people of the supplies they need to be able to rebuild their homes when they’ve been displaced at a natural disaster,” he said. “We should be doing all we can, the federal government should be doing all they can, to make sure all the supplies continue to come in here unabated.”

“Now is not the time,” he continued. “You already have people that are reeling. You have people that are on their backs. Let’s do everything we can to accelerate the relief. Make sure that they have the equipment, make sure they have the supplies that they need to be able to rehab their properties and rebuild their homes.”

DeSantis said that the administration’s disastrous response to the strikes could delay people getting the supplies that they need by weeks or even longer.

“I think it would be [a] really, really bad look for the Biden-Harris administration to allow supplies to just be sitting in the Atlantic Ocean, just on ships that are just idling, when you have people, not just here in Pinellas County, but up our entire Gulf Coast in Big Bend, who need it,” he said. “It’s not something that will be good if they allow this to happen.”
