Trump's Role in Capitol Riot Detailed in Court Docs and Social Media Evidence

Special Counsel Jack Smith, in court documents filed for the upcoming trial against former President Donald Trump, claimed that Trump "sent" his supporters to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, to obstruct the certification of the election results. Smith cited evidence of Trump's embrace of violent rioters, his refusal to commit to a peaceful transition of power, and his plan to interfere with the election result. Trump's campaign dismissed the claims as desperate and perverting justice. Trump is charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy against rights.
