Trump's 2020 election case: key takeaways from Jack Smith's filing
Special counsel lays out evidence and legal arguments for Trump’s alleged election interference
(FILES) (COMBO) This combination of pictures created on 5 August 2023 shows special counsel Jack Smith in Washington, DC, on 1 August 2023 and former US President Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, on 8 November 2022. Donald Trump launched a "private criminal effort" to subvert the 2020 US election and should not be shielded by presidential immunity, Special Counsel Jack Smith said in a court filing unsealed on 2 October 2024. Smith, in a 165-page motion arguing for the historic case against Trump to move forward, also provided new evidence of the former president's efforts to overturn the results of the election won by Democrat Joe Biden.
