Special Prosecutor's Report: There was sufficient evidence to ensure President-elect Trump's conviction

In a report on Congress, released Monday after midnight, the special prosecutor Jack Smith says his office had sufficient evidence to restore “rint (suit) and secure” a court sentence of President-elect Donald Trump in connection with efforts to overturn defeat in the face of President Joe Biden in the 2020 elections.

Special Prosecutor Smith states in the report that Mr. Trump “was involved in a series of illegal attempts to secure power”, after it became clear that he was lost and that legitimate ways to challenge the outcome had not given him rights.

“Involved to include efforts to encourage state officials not to take into account the real number of votes; to draw up lists of false electorates, in the seven states he was lost; to force Justice Department officials and his own Vice President Michael R. Pence, to act contrary to their oath and in favour of Mr. Trump's personal interests; as well as on January 6th 2021, directing an angry crowd towards the U.S. Capitol to prevent the Certificate of presidential and ongoing elections by supporting participants in the unrest”, the report said.

The special prosecutor says Mr. Trump acted both in his private quality as candidate for president and with the help of numerous associates, and that he tried to use “the power and authority of the United States government to support his” scheme.

The report further says that his unconfirmed claims, such as multiple votes cast on behalf of dead persons, or by persons who did not have the right to vote, or that the voting cars had changed for Mr. Trump to votes for Mr. Biden, were the “visiblely, and, in many cases, clearly false”.

President-elect Trump has repeatedly denied any violations and has attacked him as politically motivated the work of the special prosecutor.

He responded to the report's publication early Tuesday with a post on his social media platform “Truth Social”, calling Mr. Smith “a strange prosecutor”.

Mad Jack Smith was unable to successfully prosecute the political opponent of his chief, the corrupt Joe Biden, so he ends up writing another report based on information that the Unrecognitional Commission of Tools and Bands has gone through. FSHUE was illegally, for it showed how completely innocent I was and how completely guilty Nancy Pelosi and others”, said Mr. Trump.

President-elect Trump will be inaugurated for a new mandate next week, after winning in front of Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 elections. During the campaign, Mr. Trump denied losing the 2020 elections, including during a September debate with Mrs. Harris.

The publication of Tuesday's report came a day after Judge Aileen Canon allowed the Justice Department to make public the part of prosecutor Smith's report dealing with former President Trump's efforts to stay in power.

Judge Canon, who was appointed by then President Trump, had earlier blocked publishing the full report by prosecutor Smith, which also includes an unpublished section still about allegations that Mr. Trump illegally carried classified documents after leaving office.

Special Prosecutor Smith tried to prosecute Mr. Trump on both issues, while Mr. Trump denied having committed any violations.

Judge Canon dropped the indictment for classified documents in July, under the argument that special prosecutor Smith was illegally appointed.

The Supreme Court also ruled in July that the presidents have broad immunity from prosecution for official acts, which eased prosecutor Smith's efforts in the election intervention case.

After Mr. Trump won in front of Mrs. Harris, the Justice Department dropped both indictments against Mr. Trump, citing past policy against prosecution of a incumbent United States president.
