Special prosecutor Jack Smith, who investigated the alleged Donald Trump’s attempts to subvert the results of the 2020 US electionsa case dismissed after the Republican’s electoral victory in 2024, believes in its final report that there was sufficient evidence to convict him.
Smith’s report was sent this early Tuesday morning to Congress by the Department of Justice, once Judge Aileen Cannon gave the green light to its dissemination, which Trump, who will assume the Presidency on January 20, tried to prevent through legal action.
Smith says in his report, already published in the main US media, that he and his collaborators always acted “following the mandate of the law” and concludes that Trump, who was president from 2016 to 2021, made “a series of efforts criminals to retain power” after being defeated by today’s president Joe Biden in the November 2020 elections.
