“But for Trump’s election and his pending return to the presidency, the office believes that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial,” Smith said in his final report.
The Special Prosecutor Jac Smithwhich investigated Republican tycoon Donald Trump’s alleged attempts to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election, has stated that there is sufficient evidence to convict him had he not won the November 2024 election, sending him to the White House could return.
“But for Trump’s election and his pending return to the presidency, the office believes that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial,” Smith said in his final report, released in recent hours was published light’ received from Federal Judge Aileen Cannon.
Thus, Smith has pointed out that “the view of the Department (of Justice) is that The Constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a president “is categorical and does not alter the seriousness of the crimes charged, the strength of the government’s evidence, or the merits of the accusation, which the office fully supports.”
In the letter introducing the final report, addressed to the Attorney General of the United States, Merrick GarlandSmith recalled that the tycoon was subject to two investigations by the Justice Department.
The first arose from possible violations of the law by “attempts to obstruct the legal transfer of power” after the 2020 elections, while the second focused on “possession of top secret documents” at his residence in Mar-a-Lago.
“For anyone who knows me well, Trump’s claims that my decisions as prosecutor were influenced or directed by the Biden administration or other political actors it’s laughableexplained Smith, who reiterated that “although it was not possible to take the cases to trial, the fact that the team defended the rule of law is important.”
“The facts discovered during the investigation and presented in my report matter”he said. “Experienced prosecutors know that you can’t control outcomes and that you can only do your job the right way and for the right reasons. I conclude my work with the confidence that we have done it and that we have fully fulfilled our obligations to the Ministry (of Justice) and to our country,” he concluded.
Immediately following the release of the report, Trump used his account on the social network TruthSocial to target Smith, whom he has branded “disturbed” and of whom he has said that “he failed to successfully prosecute his ‘boss’ political opponent, the corrupt Joe Biden“, referring to himself. “To show how desperate the crazy Jack Smith is, he published his false conclusionshe said.
‘Jack is a prosecutor incompetent brainless to have this matter dealt with before the elections, which I won by a large majority. The voters have spoken” added the tycoon.
