A federal judge unsealed a redacted motion by special counsel Jack Smith detailing evidence against Donald Trump in his Washington, D.C., criminal election interference case. Smith’s 165-page filing argues that Trump can be prosecuted for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election despite a Supreme Court ruling granting him immunity for official acts. The filing highlights Trump’s collaboration with private co-conspirators in attempts to reverse results in seven states. Smith asserts Trump's actions were personal, not presidential, urging that Trump stand trial like any other citizen. Trump could potentially dismiss the case if re-elected.
