WASHINGTON \u2014 The federal criminal prosecution accusing Donald Trump of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election reached an abrupt, historic conclusion without a jury verdict, closing the book on an unprecedented legal confrontation while leaving behind a landmark Supreme Court doctrine that fundamentally expanded executive immunity.<\/p>\n
Brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith in August 2023, the four-count indictment charged the former president with conspiracies to defraud the United States, obstruct the congressional certification of the electoral vote, and disenfranchise millions of voters. Trump entered a plea of not guilty and consistently framed the case as a weaponization of the Department of Justice aimed at derailing his political comeback.<\/p>\n
