With special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on 2020 election subversion now public, legal experts say that the case against President-elect Donald Trump was strong enough that it likely would have resulted in a conviction and that he was only saved from a federal conviction by delays in the legal process.
In his report, Smith wrote that, but “for Mr. Trump's election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial.”
