Special counsel Jack Smith's conspiracy case against Donald Trump was unsealed by a federal judge on Wednesday, revealing detailed claims about the former president's efforts to stay in power in the aftermath of losing the 2020 election.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan released Smith's 165-page filing nearly one month before the 2024 election, in which Trump is the Republican nominee. Smith seeks the green light to proceed with the case before Trump can dismiss it if he wins, based on the Supreme Court's July ruling on presidential immunity.
