""The decision to bring charges against President Trump was mine, but the basis for those charges rests entirely with President Trump and his actions,""
Jack Smith defended his investigations and said prosecutorial decisions were made without regard to President Trump's political association, activities, beliefs, or 2024 candidacy. Smith stated his team developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump participated in a criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election. Investigators also had powerful evidence that Trump willfully retained classified documents and tried to obstruct justice to conceal them. Smith said the decision to bring charges was his and that the charges rested on Trump's actions. The Justice Department later dropped or abandoned related cases after Trump's 2024 election win.
