"The Department's view that the Constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a President is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government's proof, or the merits of the ...

The special counsel report released by the Department of Justice, as covered by PBS NewsHour, details former President Donald Trump's actions leading up to and during the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The report, authored by Special Counsel Jack Smith, outlines Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, including his pressure on Vice President Mike Pence to reject or delay the certification of the Electoral College votes, his promotion of false claims of election fraud, and his role in assembling a crowd that later stormed the Capitol. It also discusses Trump's lack of immediate action to stop the violence once it began, despite urgings from his advisors and family members. The report concludes that Trump's actions were part of a multi-part conspiracy to defraud the United States by obstructing the certification process, but it does not recommend criminal charges, leaving that decision to the Attorney General. The document provides a detailed narrative of Trump's mindset, his interactions with key figures, and the broader implications of his conduct on American democracy.
