A report by US Special Counsel Jack Smith, released by the Justice Department, concludes that former President Donald Trump engaged in a "unprecedented criminal effort" to hold onto power after losing the 2020 presidential election. The report details Smith's decision to bring a historic criminal case against Trump, citing evidence that would have been sufficient to convict him in a trial. Smith accuses Trump of using "knowingly false claims of election fraud" to disrupt the transfer of power, and of plotting to obstruct the collection and certification of votes.

1.

2. A significant challenge that the Office faced after Mr. Trump's indictment was his ability and willingness to use his influence and following on social media to target witnesses, courts, and Department employees, which required the Office to engage in time-consuming litigation to protect witnesses from threats and harassment.
3. Mr. Trump's resort to intimidation and harassment during the investigation was not new, as demonstrated by his actions during the charged conspiracies.
