Jack Smith Report: Sufficient Evidence to Convict Trump Over 2020 Election, But Justice Department Policy Halts Prosecution
Jan 14, 2025, 09:20 AM
Special Counsel Jack Smith has released a report asserting that former President Donald Trump would have been convicted for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results had he not been re-elected in 2024. The report, released just days before Trump's inauguration, states that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial, but Trump's election victory and imminent return to the presidency led to the case being dropped due to Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting president. Smith's investigation focused on Trump's actions following the 2020 election, which he claims were underpinned by deceit and knowingly false claims of election fraud used as a weapon to defeat a federal government function. Trump responded to the report on his social media platform, Truth Social, labeling Smith as a 'lamebrain prosecutor' and asserting his innocence.
