Prosecutors: Trump 'resorted to crimes' after losing 2020 election in failed bid to cling to power

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : In another private lunch days later, Pence urged Trump to accept the results of the election and run again in 2024.
58% : The filing includes details of conversations between Trump and Pence, including a private lunch the two had on Nov. 12, 2020, in which Pence "reiterated a face-saving option" for Trump, telling him, "don't concede but recognize the process is over," according to prosecutors.
35% : "I don't know, 2024 is so far off," Trump told him, according to the filing.
32% : The filing was submitted by special counsel Jack Smith's team following a Supreme Court opinion that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office, narrowing the scope of the prosecution charging Trump with conspiring to overturn the results of the election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
27% : But Trump "disregarded" Pence "in the same way he disregarded dozens of court decisions that unanimously rejected his and his allies' legal claims, and that he disregarded officials in the targeted states -- including those in his own party -- who stated publicly that he had lost and that his specific fraud allegations were false," prosecutors wrote.
20% : Trump's "steady stream of disinformation" in the weeks after the election culminated in his speech at the Ellipse on the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, in which Trump "used these lies to inflame and motivate the large and angry crowd of his supporters to march to the Capitol and disrupt the certification proceeding," prosecutors wrote.
