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.

Smith's findings suggest that these actions constituted criminal behavior, specifically conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of an official proceeding.

The report has fueled ongoing debates about presidential accountability and the legal boundaries of executive power.
