Jack Smith contesting Trump’s motion to dismiss charges

-

Special Counsel Jack Smith is contesting Donald Trump’s motion to dismiss charges alleging a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. Smith argues that Trump is not immune from prosecution despite his role as president during the alleged acts. The filing emphasizes evidence of Trump’s awareness that claims of voter fraud were false and outlines his persistent attempts to cling to power, such as pressuring officials and spreading fabricated statistics.

Among the detailed allegations, Smith highlights incidents like Trump mocking his own lawyer Sidney Powell for making baseless fraud claims while simultaneously promoting those narratives. He also notes Trump’s dismissive reaction to Vice President Pence’s evacuation during the Capitol riot, illustrating a disregard for its severity. The evidence forms part of Smith’s strategy to counter Trump’s defense and build a compelling case for trial.
