特别顾问杰克·史密斯的冗长法庭简报试图证明他对前总统唐纳德·特朗普的最新替代起诉是合理的，指控他试图颠覆2020大选史密斯办公室的一名发言人周四向美国广播公司新闻证实，已向美国地区法官坦尼娅·楚特坎提交密封文件。
“我们遵守了法院的命令，”发言人彼得·卡尔说。
这份摘要陈述了史密斯关于最高法院关于总统豁免权的裁决如何适用于前总统刑事案件的论点。
文件的任何部分是否会被公开现在取决于Chutkan法官。
史密斯还提交了一份拟议的文件编辑版本，他的办公室认为这是适合公开发布的版本。
特朗普的辩护律师将有机会提出自己的反驳，反对在简报中发布信息。
Chutkan周二批准了Smith的请求，提交了一份180页的超大摘要，超过了标准的45页限制。
7月，最高法院裁定重大决定特朗普有权对在职期间的官方行为免于刑事起诉——实际上是将案件发回楚特坎，以理清对特朗普的哪些指控可以成立。
史密斯随后指控特朗普替代起诉书在最初的起诉书中，同样的选举干扰罪，但削减和调整到最高法院的总统豁免权的裁决。
楚特坎随后裁定史密斯可以提交一份全面的辩护状来支持他的总统豁免权。
Special counsel files sealed court brief supporting his Jan. 6 case against Trump
Special counsel Jack Smith's lengthy court brief seeking to justify his latest superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump on charges that he sought tosubvert the 2020 electionhas been filed under seal with U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, a spokesperson for Smith's office confirmed to ABC News Thursday.
"We have complied with the court's order," spokesperson Peter Carr said.
The brief presents Smith's argument on how the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity applies to the former president's criminal case.
Whether any portions of the filing will be made public now rest in Judge Chutkan's hands.
Smith has also filed a proposed redacted version of the filing that his office determined would be appropriate for public release.
Trump's defense attorneys will have a chance to make their own counterarguments objecting to the release of information in the brief.
Chutkan on Tuesday granted Smith's request to file an oversized 180-page brief, exceeding the standard 45-page limit.
In July, the Supreme Court ruled inblockbuster decisionthat Trump is entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts undertaken while in office -- effectively sending the case back to Chutkan to sort out which charges against Trump can stand.
Smith then charged Trump, in asuperseding indictment, with the same election interference offenses in the original indictment, but pared down and adjusted to the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling.
Chutkansubsequently ruledthat Smith could file a comprehensive brief supporting his presidential immunity arguments.
