The “unparalleled criminal endeavor” by Donald Trump to overthrow the 2020 election and retain power post his defeat to Joe Biden has not been completely absolved. This was the crux of the final report submitted by Special Counsel, Jack Smith. The report detailed evidence, which, according to Smith, could have incriminated Trump if brought to trial. Smith asserted that Trump only escaped due to his successful 2024 White House re-election, compelling the Justice Department to seize the momentous prosecution.

In a substantial 137-page section of the report delivered to Congress and made public early Tuesday morning, Smith wrote, “The Department’s standpoint that the Constitution restricts the ongoing indictment and prosecution of a President is absolute and doesn’t pivot on the severity of the crimes charged, the robustness of the Government’s evidence, or the validity of the prosecution, which this Office staunchly supports.”

Smith, who stepped down from his role recently, further added, “The permissible evidence was ample to secure and uphold a conviction.”

However, the Justice Department, as per court directives, is currently holding back the second part of Smith’s report. This section delves into the presence of several classified documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and the accusations that he hindered the investigation into their origins. This is an important aspect for potential investors to understand as they consider the political stability and potential legal implications of their investment decisions.
