The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s trial for election interference has released a 165-page document detailing extensive accounts of Trump’s conduct following the 2020 election. The document provides never-before-seen insight into the actions taken by Trump and his associates in the days and weeks following his defeat to President Joe Biden.
According to prosecutors, the document outlines a series of alarming incidents in which Trump allegedly pressured state officials, government officials, and members of Congress in an attempt to overturn the election results. The prosecutors detail how Trump and his allies spread false claims of widespread voter fraud, filed numerous lawsuits seeking to invalidate election results, and even pressured officials in several key states to “find” additional votes to secure a victory for Trump.
The document also highlights Trump’s role in inciting the deadly insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Prosecutors allege that Trump repeatedly made false claims about election fraud and encouraged his supporters to take action to “stop the steal,” ultimately leading to the violent attack on the Capitol that resulted in multiple deaths and injuries.
Overall, the 165-page document provides a comprehensive account of Trump’s conduct in the aftermath of the 2020 election, shedding light on the extent of his efforts to overturn the election results and maintain his grip on power. As the trial unfolds, the evidence presented in the document is expected to play a key role in determining Trump’s culpability for his actions and the impact they had on the democratic process.
