WASHINGTON — Former special counsel Jack Smith says the evidence he compiled against Donald Trump would have led to a conviction of the now President-elect.

Overnight, the Justice Department sent Congress the final report from Smith, who resigned last week ahead of Trump’s inauguration. The report covers his investigation of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including the buildup to the January 6th Capitol riot, and the riot itself.

Smith also authored a second report about Trump’s handling of classified documents. That report remains blocked by a federal judge, citing the charges pending against the two men who would have been Trump’s co-defendants.

Smith noted in the report that only Trump’s election win stopped his prosecutions.
