Details of the Election Interference Case
Federal prosecutors have unveiled extensive details regarding the election interference case against former President Donald Trump, focusing on alleged conspiracies to overturn the 2020 election results. This follows a Supreme Court ruling that suggests Trump and future presidents have significant immunity from prosecution for their official actions while in office. However, the Justice Department argues that Trump acted as a private citizen, driven by personal motivations, particularly during the events leading up to and including January 6, 2021. They claim that Trump’s actions, including his social media posts during the Capitol riot, demonstrate his intent to manipulate the election outcome for his benefit and warrant criminal charges.
