Jack Smith’s Report On President Trump ‘Election Interference’ Case RELEASED

In his report on President Trump’s ‘election interference’ case, special counsel Jack Smith wrote that he believed his team would have secured a conviction if Trump had not won re-election.

“Indeed, but for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial,” the report stated, according to NBC News.

Smith wrote that Trump “inspired his supporters to commit acts of physical violence” on January 6th, the outlet noted.

Per NBC News:

The 170-page report summarized Smith’s investigation into Trump’s efforts to maintain power after he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, which culminated in the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Smith’s office conducted interviews with more than 250 individuals in connection with the investigation and federal grand jurors heard testimony from more than 55 witnesses as part of the probe.

Smith has been the subject of unending criticism by Trump, whose allies have suggested the special counsel should now face criminal charges, and he used the report to deliver a full-throated defense of his decision to bring charges.

“To all who know me well, the claim from Mr. Trump that my decisions as a prosecutor were influenced or directed by the Biden administration or other political actors is, in a word, laughable,” Smith wrote.

If it wasn’t for Trump’s election in November that prevented the prosecution from moving forward, the case would have ended in the president-elect’s conviction, he wrote.

Critics said Smith’s report is purely a political document.

Jack Smith’s “report” is not a legal document. It is a political document, and it should be treated as such.

You say Special Counsel Jack Smith published his “report” but all I see is DOJ letting a private citizen write a blog post for its website

From the New York Post:

The 174-page report, obtained by multiple outlets Tuesday after lawyers for the incoming president failed to stop its release, outlines the investigative process Smith took in his case against Trump after being appointed special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland shortly after Trump launched his 2024 White House bid.

“The department’s view that the Constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a president is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the government’s proof or the merits of the prosecution, which the office stands fully behind,” Smith wrote in the report’s conclusion.

“Indeed, but for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the presidency, the office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial,” he added.

The report was delivered to Congress by the Justice Department just after midnight Tuesday after a last-ditch attempt by Trump’s legal team to block its release was rejected by South Florida US District Judge Aileen Cannon late Monday.

It is one of two volumes put together by Smith detailing the federal investigations into Trump.

The second volume, which relates to the classified documents case dismissed by Cannon last July, has not been made public as Smith is still pursuing charges against Trump’s two former co-defendants in the case — Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira.
