TL;DR Summary

Special counsel Jack Smith, who will prosecute former President Donald Trump in federal court next year, revealed new evidence in a court filing, alleging that Trump intended for the events of January 6, 2021, to occur. The evidence includes Trump's history of denying election results and his support of high-profile defendants involved in the Capitol attack. Prosecutors argue that Trump's embrace of violent rioters and his comments supporting the former Proud Boys chairman demonstrate his motive and intent. The filing also revealed evidence of a Trump campaign staffer allegedly encouraging obstruction at a vote-counting center. The trial is scheduled for March 2024. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies any wrongdoing.
