Trump would've been convicted in 2020 poll case had he not been reelected: Report

India Today  

US Special Counsel Jack Smith said that evidence from the 2020 election interference case was enough for President-elect Donald Trump's conviction, but his victory in last year's presidential polls made it impossible to do so. In an over 130-page report published on Tuesday, Smith concluded that Trump engaged in an "unprecedented criminal effort" to retain power after he lost to Joe Biden five years ago. The report, that came less than a week before the President-elect's inauguration on January 20, also said the "throughline of all of Trump’s criminal efforts was deceit, knowingly false claims of election fraud, and the evidence shows that he used these lies as a weapon to defeat a federal government function foundational to the United States’ democratic process". Also on Tuesday, Trump's lawyers, in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, called Smith's report a "politically-motivated attack" and said releasing it ahead of Trump's return to the White House would harm the presidential transition.
