Prosecutors present new evidence in Trump election case, allege criminal behavior
Summary: Prosecutors have presented new evidence in Donald Trump's election case, claiming he planned to overturn the 2020 election before losing. They allege he knowingly spread false voter fraud claims and engaged in criminal behavior to maintain power.
The unsealed court filing includes accounts from Trump's aides, depicting him as increasingly desperate. It details his actions after the election, including attempts to sow chaos and disregard for legal advice, while promoting false claims of fraud.
Prosecutors argue that Trump's actions were private, not presidential, and intend to use forensic evidence from his phone to support their case. Trump's campaign has dismissed the filing as false and unconstitutional.
