Summary

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s election interference case, released by the Justice Department, details Trump’s attempts to retain power after losing the election.

Trump responded with late-night social media posts, calling Smith “deranged,” spreading falsehoods about destroyed evidence, and claiming a 2020 election “landslide” victory.

Despite having time to prepare a response, Trump’s reaction consisted of late-night tweets filled with lies and falsehoods.
