The U.S. Department of Justice accuses Donald Trump of attempting to illegally interfere with the results of the 2020 election. Special Prosecutor Jack Smith claims that Trump's actions were not presidential, but personal and aimed at altering the election outcome in seven key states.
Smith presented a 165-page document in court describing how Trump and his allies attempted to illegally influence the election, which confirmed Joe Biden's victory. Trump argues that his actions are protected by presidential immunity, but the Supreme Court ruled that immunity only applies to official presidential actions, not private ones.
Trump calls these accusations a political attack aimed at preventing his participation in the 2024 election.
