Prosecutors allege Trump planned illegal actions to overturn 2020 election results

thestar.com — October 3, 2024, 09:00 PM UTC

Summary: Prosecutors have filed new evidence in Donald Trump's federal election case, alleging he planned illegal actions to overturn the 2020 election results well before Election Day. They claim he dismissed concerns about the legitimacy of his fraud claims, stating, "the details don’t matter."

The filing details Trump's pressure on then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject the election results. It describes a tense relationship, with Trump threatening Pence and showing indifference when informed of Pence's safety during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.

Prosecutors plan to present forensic evidence and witness testimony to support their claims. They assert that Trump continued to spread falsehoods about election fraud, even after being told by advisors that his claims were baseless.
