Court Filing Reveals Trump's Alleged Election Crimes

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed a 165-page court document outlining alleged crimes by Donald Trump in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, asserting that Trump acted in a 'private capacity' rather than as president, which could affect his immunity claims. The filing alleges Trump engaged in deceitful practices, including creating false fraud claims and manipulating electoral processes, as he sought to retain power. Trump's legal team has until November 7 to respond to the filing, after a federal judge granted an extension to avoid interference with the upcoming election. Smith's evidence suggests a coordinated effort to undermine the electoral process, with Trump aware of the violent actions of his supporters during the Capitol riots. Trump has dismissed the allegations as politically motivated, labeling the filing as 'election interference' and a 'witch hunt.' Legal experts have noted the potential impact of Smith's findings on Trump's presidential campaign as the election approaches.
