Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Constitution Shields Trump from Conviction Amid Controversy
Caption: Constitution Shields Trump from Conviction Amid Controversy. A newly released report claims Donald Trump would have been convicted of trying to overturn the 2020 election if he hadn’t secured re-election in 2024. Special Counsel Jack Smith stated the evidence was strong enough for conviction but emphasized that constitutional protections for sitting presidents ended the case. Trump dismissed the report, calling Smith “deranged” and the findings “fake”. The accusations include pressuring officials, spreading false election fraud claims, and leveraging the Capitol riots of January 6, 2021. Now president-elect, Trump’s legal battles have faded following his 2024 victory though Smith stands by the merits of the prosecution.
