The report states that the election case would have been a trial for Trump, and he would have been convicted

Jack Smith in the DOJ report on the investigation of the 2024 midterm presidential election: The VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!” Trump tells Garland on Truth Social

The Department of Justice is reported to have released its election interference report against Donald Trump early Tuesday.

Prosecutors dropped the two federal criminal cases against Trump after he won the 2024 election, and the final report by Special Counsel Jack Smith is their last chance to explain their decisions.

Smith, in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland prefacing the report, defended his work and his team, as well as his impartiality in pursuing the federal cases against Trump, whom prosecutors ended up charging with election interference in Washington, D.C., and with hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort and refusing to return them to the FBI.

It says the evidence would have led to Trump’s conviction at trial, but for his election and return to the Presidency. The Justice Department does not allow the prosecution of a sitting president.

The DOJ agreed not to publicly release volume two of its report, about the classified documents case, to avoid interfering with an ongoing case against two other defendants. The first volume of the investigation and charges against Trump was supposed to be released.

“Jack is a lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election, which I won in a landslide. THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!” Trump posted on Truth Social after the report’s release.

“It is laughable that Mr. Trump thinks my decisions as a prosecutor were influenced or directed by the Biden administration or other political actors,” he wrote.

We wouldn’t have taken part in any action by our office for partisan political purposes, I can assure you of that. My Office had one north star: to follow the facts and law wherever they led. Nothing more and nothing less.
