Jack Smith's Report Concludes Trump Would Be Convicted

A report by special counsel Jack Smith concludes that Donald Trump would have been convicted for attempting to overturn the 2020 election if not for his re-election in 2024, which precludes prosecution of a sitting president. Smith's investigation found sufficient evidence of Trump's criminal efforts, including spreading false claims of election fraud and pressuring officials, which allegedly incited the January 6 Capitol attack. The report, released days before Trump's January 20, 2025, return to office, underscores the Justice Department's stance that presidential immunity bars continued indictment, regardless of crime severity. Trump responded by labeling Smith a 'lamebrain prosecutor' and asserting his innocence. The report serves as a comprehensive account of Trump's actions, defending Smith's integrity against accusations of political bias. A second volume concerning Trump's handling of classified documents remains confidential.
