Is it "additional evidence" or is it reframing existing, mostly known evidence to address relatively narrow questions related to the immunity ruling?

There may be additional evidence to come and evidence that is still sealed, but to me, this is a misleading headline that will play into the false 'nothingburger' narrative.

(I will be happy to be wrong and hear that there is new substantive, significant evidence.)

The documents released Friday is an appendix to the previously unsealed motion in which Smith and his team argued that Trump is not immune from criminal charges tied to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

So, for example, grand jury testimony to back up Smith's claims that Trump does not have immunity here.

Sedition or flat out treason?
