22% : A senior campaign advisor identified as P4 told Trump on multiple occasions that his fraud claims were false. '
19% : The 165-page filing, arguing that Trump's alleged conduct doesn't merit immunity under a new Supreme Court standard, casts Trump's as a plot by a private individual to steal the election - not protected conduct by a branch of government.
18% : A new filing by Jack Smith details wide-ranging efforts to spread 'lies' about election fraud as part of Trump's election overturn effortSmith's team also detailed a Nov. 7 campaign meeting where aides told Trump he had only a 'slim chance of prevail.'Trump soon 'sidelined' campaign staff and started turning to CC1, a 'private attorney who was willing to falsely claim victory and spread knowingly false claims about election fraud,' according to the filing.
16% : The filing refers to Trump as 'the defendant,' and says agents 'spread lies that there had been outcome-determinative fraud' in the election.
13% : The filing also details private interactions between Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, who Trump said lacked 'courage' on January 6 for failing to refuse to count votes certified by states during the electoral count.
8% : On Jan. 1, Trump told Pence on a call that ''hundreds of thousands' of people 'are gonna hate your guts' and 'people are gonna think you're stupid.'Smith's team argues Trump's conversations with Pence, conducted in the White House, were not official and therefore protected because they were about his election prospects.
