This is a filing under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33: https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_33.

I'm not sure about the exact contours of "new evidence" but you're right that if all the evidence was available before trial that'll weigh against him. But as you can see from the wording of the rule, there's enough discretion invested in the trial judge there that it's certainly worth a shot.
