Jack Smith’s final report boasts he could have secured conviction, Trump calls it ‘fake findings’
Donald Trump,Jack Smith,January 6
Attorney General Merrick Garland submitted to Congress early Tuesday a portion of Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report in which the prosecutor boasted he would’ve secured Donald Trump’s conviction if the President-elect had not won the election.
”Indeed, but for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial," the 170-page report stated.
The release of the report came days after Trump failed to persuade multiple courts to block its release and just hours after a separate special counsel, David Weiss, released his report accusing President Joe Biden of misleading the American people about the reasons his son Hunter Biden was prosecuted for gun and tax crimes.
