US Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report claims Donald Trump would have been convicted over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election had he not won re-election in 2024. Smith’s investigation revealed sufficient evidence to convict Trump, including pressure on state officials and spreading false claims. However, due to a legal policy prohibiting prosecution of a sitting president, charges were dropped after Trump’s victory. Trump has denied the charges, calling the investigation politically motivated. Smith emphasized that his team followed the law and facts, regardless of political influence.
