Former President Donald Trump is facing federal election subversion charges, according to new unsealed evidence that is deemed “crucially important” for voters by his estranged niece, Mary Trump. The 165-page document filed by special counsel Jack Smith accuses Trump of attempting to stay in the White House despite losing to President Joe Biden in 2020.
The evidence focuses on Trump’s actions as a candidate and private citizen, not as president, due to a Supreme Court ruling. Trump faces four federal felony counts, including conspiracy to defraud the United States. The document details Trump and his operatives pushing false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election, despite warnings from GOP officials.
Mary Trump highlighted these details in her Substack blog, emphasizing the need for voters to see the evidence before the November election. She criticized Trump’s ability to delay legal proceedings and expressed concerns about the case not going to trial.
Trump has denied all charges and accused prosecutors of interfering in his chances for a second term. Despite efforts to conceal parts of the document, the court released the evidence, prompting Trump to accuse the Justice Department of trying to undermine democracy.
Overall, the unfolding case against Trump paints a picture of deceit and manipulation that Mary Trump believes voters should be aware of before making their decision in the upcoming election.
