TL;DR Summary

In a new court filing, Special Counsel Jack Smith reveals that a Trump "Campaign Employee" and "agent" sought to cause a riot in Detroit on November 4, 2020, to disrupt the vote count. This goes beyond allegations of exploiting violence by third parties and establishes Trump's motive and intent in seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The evidence shows Trump's post-conspiracy embrace of violent rioters, such as the Proud Boys, and his continued lies about election fraud in Detroit, even after his own Attorney General debunked them. The revelation adds to the case that Trump knowingly lied about the election and encouraged violence, leading to the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.
