Jack Smith gets last word with Trump report
- Donald Trump has been accused of attempting to criminally overturn the 2020 election results, inciting violence during the January 6 riots, and knowingly spreading false claims of election fraud, according to a report by special counsel Jack Smith.
- The report concluded that had Trump not been re-elected in a landslide victory last year, he would have faced conviction for his actions. The report also suggested that the rioters were filmed assaulting the Capitol while wielding a variety of weapons, including firearms, stun guns, flagpoles, fire extinguishers, bike racks, batons, a metal whip, office furniture, pepper spray, bear spray, a tomahawk axe, a hatchet, a hockey stick, knuckle gloves, a baseball bat, a large Trump billboard, Trump flags, a pitchfork, pieces of lumber, crutches and even an explosive device.
- Trump has vowed to pardon an unspecified number of the rioters – around 900 of whom have admitted federal charges from trespassing and vandalism to assaulting police – describing them as “hostages.” In response to the allegations, Trump vehemently criticised Smith by calling him a “deranged lamebrain prosecutor” in a fiery post on his social media platform, TruthSocial.
