Prosecutors present new evidence in Trump's 2020 election interference case
Summary: Special counsel Jack Smith has presented new evidence in the case against former President Donald Trump, alleging he attempted to overturn the 2020 election results. This evidence aims to show that Trump acted as a private citizen, not as president, during these actions.
The case, previously delayed due to Trump's claims of presidential immunity, is now set for further legal proceedings. Trump's lawyers have requested an extension to respond to the new filing, which is due later this month.
The recent developments provide Democrats with material for their campaigns against Trump, but the political impact remains uncertain. Polls indicate that economic issues are currently more important to voters than concerns about democracy.
