U.S. District Judge Eileen Cannon has allowed the Justice Department to release Special Counsel Jack Smith's report on former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The report, which was previously sent to some members of Congress, alleges that Trump engaged in an illegal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Smith wrote in the report that his office gathered sufficient evidence to convict then-President Trump at trial, but the proceedings were not pursued because of Trump's impending re-election.
