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.

Tim Walz
Democratic Party
1. I'm pretty shocked by this. He lost the election. This is not a debate. It's not anything anywhere other than in Donald Trump's world.
2. This has got to stop. It's tearing our country apart.
Mike Pence
Republican Party
1. Don't concede [defeat] but recognise the process is over.
Steven Cheung
Republican Party
1. The release of the falsehood-ridden, Unconstitutional J6 brief immediately following Tim Walz's disastrous debate performance is another obvious attempt by the Harris-Biden regime to undermine American Democracy and interfere in this election.
2. This entire case is a partisan, Unconstitutional Witch Hunt that should be dismissed entirely, together with ALL of the remaining Democrat hoaxes.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. Democrats are Weaponizing the Justice Department against me because they know I am WINNING.
2. It doesn't matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell.
3. I didn't rig the 2020 Election, they did!
4. Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!'
5. This is egregious PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT, and should not have been released right before the Election.
Jack Smith
US Department of Justice
1. With private co-conspirators, the defendant launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to overturn the legitimate election results in seven states that he had lost.
2. The defendant asserts that he is immune from prosecution for his criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election because, he claims, it entailed official conduct.
3. Working with a team of private co-conspirators, the defendant acted as a candidate when he pursued multiple criminal means to disrupt, through fraud and deceit, the government function by which votes are collected and counted — a function in which the defendant, as President, had no official role.
4. Not so. Although the defendant was the incumbent President during the charged conspiracies, his scheme was fundamentally a private one.
5. At 2.24pm, Trump was alone in his dining room, when he issued a Tweet attacking Pence and fuelling the ongoing riot.
