Special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into Donald Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election has uncovered extensive evidence, including Trump’s pressure on Mike Pence to reject electoral votes on January 6, 2021. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan made public a 165-page filing detailing Trump's plan to challenge election results before Election Day and his refusal to act as the Capitol was attacked. Prosecutors argue that Trump's actions were private, not official, making him ineligible for presidential immunity. Trump denies wrongdoing, calling the investigation a "partisan witch hunt."
