In a bombshell report released Tuesday, U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith accused former President Donald Trump of orchestrating an 'unprecedented criminal effort' to cling to power after losing the 2020 election. The 89-page document details how Trump allegedly plotted to block vote certification and spread misinformation about Joe Biden’s victory. 🗳️💥
Smith’s team considered charging Trump under the Insurrection Act for the January 6 Capitol riot but ultimately avoided it due to 'legal risks' and insufficient evidence of intent for full-scale violence. Instead, they focused on four charges—including conspiracy to defraud the U.S.—that could’ve led to convictions if not for Trump’s 2024 election win halting trials. ⚖️
Trump fired back on Truth Social, calling Smith a 'lamebrain prosecutor' and dismissing the report as a 'witch hunt.' His legal team also slammed it as a 'politically motivated attack,' arguing it disrupts the presidential transition. Meanwhile, Smith doubled down: 'Claims that Biden directed this investigation are laughable.' 🎤🔥
While much of the evidence was already public, new details reveal prosecutors weighed charges against Trump allies—including lawyers—who allegedly helped execute the scheme. The DOJ has kept a separate classified documents case under wraps pending ongoing trials. 📁🔒
With Trump returning to the White House on January 20, this report drops like a political grenade. Will it reshape his legacy—or fade as another chapter in America’s partisan drama? 🇺🇸✨
