Trump's Alleged Efforts to Overturn 2020 Election Revealed
News summary

Special counsel Jack Smith's recent filing details former President Donald Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, revealing that Trump planned to declare victory before all votes were counted, despite internal assessments indicating he could not legally challenge the election outcome. The 165-page motion, unsealed by Judge Tanya Chutkan, describes a coordinated effort by Trump and his associates to disrupt ballot counting in key states and pressure state officials with false claims of voter fraud. Prosecutors argue that Trump's actions constituted a private scheme for personal gain, separate from his duties as president, challenging assertions of presidential immunity from prosecution. Trump faces four criminal charges related to these actions and has pleaded not guilty, with his legal team labeling the filing as a “false hit piece.” This motion is part of ongoing litigation as Chutkan prepares to rule on the issue of Trump's immunity. The implications of this case could significantly impact the upcoming election, as early voting has already commenced.
