U.S. Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, who is investigating U.S. Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, submitted documents containing the details of the investigation to the court on the 2nd. The 165-page document contains details of candidate Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of his defeat in the presidential election. Candidate Trump objected to this, calling it “election interference.”
According to the Washington Post (WP), etc., the document also describes the situation when rioters attacked the Washington Capitol on January 6, 2021. At the time, President Trump was watching the situation on TV alone in the White House cafeteria and posting on social media, “Pence (Vice President) has no courage.” At this time, an aide came running and reported, “Former Vice President Mike Pence was evacuated,” but he remained indifferent, simply asking, “So what?”
Evidence was also presented showing that candidate Trump knew that the election fraud claims were false. The special prosecutor said candidate Trump told his daughter Ivanka and his wife on the presidential plane, “It doesn’t matter whether you won or lost the election. “We have to fight like hell,” he wrote. In November 2020, then-Vice President Pence had two lunches with Trump and said, “Accept the results of the presidential election and run again next time,” but candidate Trump said, “I don’t know. “2024 is too far away,” he replied.
In the documents submitted this time, the special prosecutor’s team defined Candidate Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election as a “private act that cannot be subject to criminal immunity.” This is a direct rebuttal to the Federal Supreme Court’s decision in July to broadly recognize the former president’s criminal immunity by considering his actions while in office as public.
The special counsel said, “(Candidate Trump) collaborated with a group of private co-conspirators, and the defendant pursued multiple criminal means to disrupt the government’s function of collecting and tabulating voting results through fraud and deception, and the ‘candidate for president’ (rather than the president) He pointed out, “He acted like this.” He also said, “When the defendant lost the 2020 presidential election, he resorted to crime to remain in power,” and that this included persuading former Vice President Pence on January 6, 2021, to “refuse to certify the vote tally results.” .
Candidate Trump strongly protested against the special prosecutor’s submission of the documents the day after the vice presidential debate ended on the 1st, calling it “election interference.” In a series of posts on the social media ‘TruthSocial’, he said, “The reason the Department of Justice announced the ‘hit piece’ today is because Republican Vice Presidential Candidate JD Vance insulted (and won) Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate Tim Walz in last night’s debate.” “It is a serious illegal act,” he claimed. The prosecution countered this by saying, “We are not interested in a political role.”
