Donald Trump would have been convicted if not elected president, Jack Smith report says

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

31% : In different sections, the report goes into Trump putting "pressure on state officials", as well as on his own deputy Mike Pence to weaponize his ceremonial role in certifying the election results in Congress and also discusses the "fraudulent electors plan".
29% : But Trump spread claims that were "demonstrably and, in many cases, obviously false," the report stated.
29% : A second volulme of Smith's report addresses separate charges against Trump over his handling of classified documents after he left the White House during his first term.
27% : "Trump knew that there was no outcome-determinative fraud in the 2020 election, that many of the specific claims that he made were untrue, and that he had lost the election," it added.
24% : Trump alleged the information to which he alludes was destroyed because it showed how "totally innocent" he was but provides no evidence to support that claim.
21% : In a subsequent message, Trump insisted again that "the Unselect Committee illegally destroyed and deleted all of the evidence", once more providing no basis for his contention.
18% : Trump, who takes office as America's 47th president on January 20, has not been exonerated for his "unprecedented criminal effort" to subvert the 2020 vote, the report flatly stated.
17% : Trump accused the former special prosecutor of publishing the report because he could not bring a successful prosectution.
14% : Earlier this month, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that there would be a formal probe into the bipartisan House committee led by Representative Bennie Thompson that investigated Trump's efforts to subvert the 2020 result . Smith took action to drop his case against Trump in November because of the long-standing protocol by the Justice Department not to bring charges against a sitting president.
