Abstract

A report from Special Counsel Jack Smith to the US Justice Department suggests that President-elect Donald Trump would have been convicted for attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election if the case had gone to trial. The 137-page report, released by the DOJ after legal battles, details Trump's efforts to pressure then Vice President Mike Pence to reject the election results, culminating in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Despite indictments against Trump, the cases were dropped after he won the 2024 election, and Smith has since resigned as special counsel. [Extracted from the article]
