Special Counsel Jack Smith concluded that Donald Trump engaged in a criminal effort to remain in power after losing the 2020 election. The report details a four-count indictment accusing Trump of obstructing the certification of votes but states his upcoming return to the presidency on January 20 made a trial impossible. Smith rejected claims of political bias, while Trump and his lawyers dismissed the report as politically motivated. Prosecutors dropped charges, citing a policy against prosecuting sitting presidents, though evidence was deemed sufficient for conviction. Courts rejected Trump’s bid to block the report’s release.
