Why Trump would’ve been convicted – Department of Justice
The United States, US, President-elect, Donald Trump would have been convicted for his alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election result if he lost the November 2023 presidential election..

This was contained in a report by former Special Counsel Jack Smith of the Department of Justice which was released on Tuesday.
Prior to his reelection, Trump was accused of conspiracy to defraud the US and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, the session of Congress called to certify President Joe Biden’s election win.
However, Smith’s report said Trump allegedly made efforts to persuade state-level Republican lawmakers and leaders to “change the results” of the 2020 election.
According to the report, the US Department of Justice “view that the Constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a President is categorical and 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.
“Indeed, but for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the Presidency, the [Special Counsel’s] Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial.”
“Mr. Trump contacted state legislators and executives, pressured them with false claims of election fraud in their states, and urged them to take action to ignore the vote counts and change the results.
“Significantly, he made election claims only to state legislators and executives who shared his political affiliation and were his political supporters, and only in states that he had lost.”
The report also claimed that Trump and co-conspirators planned to organize individuals who would have served as his electors, if he had won the popular vote, in seven states where he lost – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – “and cause them to sign and send to Washington false certifications claiming to be the legitimate electors.”
Smith, who was special counsel appointed to investigate Trump, dropped the federal criminal case against the incoming leader after he won November’s presidential election
