The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday released Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, the last act of a prosecutor whose historic criminal cases were thwarted by Trump’s November election victory.
The report is expected to detail Smith’s decision to bring a four-count indictment against Trump accusing the Republican president-elect of plotting to obstruct the collection and certification of votes following his 2020 defeat by Democratic President Joe Biden.
