Trump would have been convicted if he hadn’t been elected.
Donald Trump tried to illegally change the results of the 2020 presidential election in the United States. If he had not won the 2024 election, he would have been convicted of that charge and faced trial. US Special Counsel Jack Smith said this in a report. Smith’s report has been partially published in the media. News BBC, Al Jazeera.
In the report, Smith said that the evidence against Trump is enough to convict him. In response, Donald Trump said that Smith is spreading confusion and that the results he obtained are ‘fake’. Incidentally, in addition to changing the election results, Trump has also been convicted of a bribery scandal, which is rare in US history. The court has already given him ‘unconditional release’ as a sentence.
After Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, he put pressure on officials to change the results. In addition, he spread false information about fraud in the election. Then, on January 6, 2021, Trump supporters started a violent riot on Capitol Hill in the United States. Trump was under investigation for his involvement. In the meantime, he was re-elected.
Smith said in his report that there is a strong case against Trump. However, the US Constitution prohibits the trial of a sitting president-elect – this is the only reason Trump is being acquitted. According to the BBC, parts of Smith’s report were released last October. The report contained strong allegations against Trump. However, the latest report has been submitted to Congress by the US Department of Justice (DOJ). The report also contains detailed information about why Smith took the case and why the case was closed.
According to the BBC, Smith’s report was sent to Congress at midnight on Tuesday. However, no further action will be taken on it. Smith closed the case after Trump won the election. Meanwhile, Trump, as usual, has claimed his innocence on social media and blamed Smith.
