On Tuesday, special counsel Jack Smith unsealed his latest criminal indictment of Donald Trump, and like the first indictment he filed against the former president over his handling of classified documents, it was comprised of hundreds of hours of grand jury testimony given by Republican witnesses, many of them former members of Trump's administration.
Again and again, the indictment makes clear that Trump repeatedly lied to the American people about fraud costing him victory in the 2020 election and that members of his staff, many who testified before the grand jury, told him there was no evidence to back up his claims.
"Well, Mr. President, the challenge you have is the data you have is wrong," Raffensperger replied, adding,"The actual number were two. Two. Two people that were dead that voted. And so [your information]'s wrong, that was two." “Yeah, you’re right, it’s too late for us. We’re going to give that to the next guy,” Trump allegedly said.‘Just say that the election was corrupt’
“When the Acting Attorney General told the Defendant that the Justice Department could not and would not change the outcome of the election, the Defendant responded, ‘Just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen,’” the indictment states.
