2020 US Presidential Election

Trump accused of resorting to crimes to overturn 2020 election results

Special Counsel Jack Smith has submitted a 165-page court filing that challenges Donald Trump's claim of immunity from prosecution for official acts conducted while in office. The filing, unsealed by Judge Tanya Chutkan, alleges that Trump engaged in a "private criminal effort" and ignored advice from Vice President Mike Pence to accept the 2020 election result. Prosecutors claim that Trump told his family members that "it doesn't matter if you won or lost the election," contradicting his previous claims. The filing follows a landmark Supreme Court ruling that granted Trump broad immunity for official acts taken while president, but prosecutors argue that Trump's actions in this case were not official acts.
