DOJ Releases Special Counsel’s Final Report on Trump’s Election Interference

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report, released by the Department of Justice on January 14, 2025, details the investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Smith asserts that his team upheld the rule of law and that the evidence gathered would have led to a conviction if not for Trump’s re-election in 2024, which grants him immunity from prosecution as a sitting president.

The report outlines Trump’s actions, including spreading false claims of election fraud, pressuring the Justice Department, and inciting the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. It emphasizes that these actions constituted an “unprecedented criminal effort” to disrupt the democratic process.

Despite challenges such as executive privilege claims and social media influence, Smith defends the integrity of the investigation, stating that his team “stood up for the rule of law.” He also dismisses claims of political influence, asserting that the inquiry was conducted independently.

A second volume of the report, focusing on Trump’s handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, remains undisclosed due to ongoing legal proceedings.

In response, Trump criticized Smith on his Truth Social platform, calling him “a lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election” and asserting his innocence.
