  • Prosecutors had enough evidence to convict Trump for efforts to overturn the 2020 result had they not had to drop the case, Jack Smith said

The article discusses a report by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who concluded that former President Donald Trump would have been convicted for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results if he had not been granted immunity. The report highlights that Trump's actions, including pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to reject electoral votes and spreading false claims of election fraud, were part of a concerted effort to subvert the democratic process. Smith's findings suggest that these actions constituted criminal behavior, specifically conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of an official proceeding. Despite these conclusions, Trump's immunity as a former president protected him from prosecution for these specific charges. The report has fueled ongoing debates about presidential accountability and the legal boundaries of executive power.
