Trump would've been convicted if he weren't elected president, says Special Counsel's report

Firstpost  

In a report released today, Special Counsel Jack Smith has said that Donald Trump would have been convicted in the 2020 election subversion case if he were not elected president and protected by the constitutional prohibition on a sitting president’s prohibition Donald Trump would have been convicted in the 2020 election subversion case if he were not elected as the President of the United States, said Special Counsel Jack Smith in a report released on Tuesday. The election subversion case relates to Trump’s failed attempt to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election that outgoing US President Joe Biden won. In his report, Smith said that the constitutional prohibition on a sitting president’s prosecution is the only reason Trump was not convicted and that the dropping of the case against him because of his election as the president “does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the government’s proof or the merits of the prosecution, which the office stands fully behind”. Even though the Trump-incited assault on the US Capitol is the starkest public memory of Trump’s campaign to overturn the 2020 election results, his efforts also included pressurising officials to state officials to commit fraud, pressurising the then-Vice President Mike Pence to illegally certify the election result in his favour, and use fraudulent electors to overturn the result.
