Special Counsel Jack Smith said in a report to the US Justice Department that President-elect Donald Trump would have been convicted for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election had the case gone to trial.
The DOJ released Smith’s 137-page report on the allegations that Donald Trump illegally conspired to overturn the 2020 election early Tuesday after a week of legal wrangling over whether the document could be made public. Trump and his associates had made emergency requests to federal courts to block it from being released. Had they succeeded, the new Trump administration could have buried it for good.
