United Airlines Flight Evacuated After Engine Fire During Takeoff

A recent report by U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith indicates that Donald Trump engaged in a significant criminal effort to maintain power after his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden. Smith's investigation led to a four-count indictment against Trump, accusing him of plotting to obstruct the collection and certification of votes.
The report claims that the evidence against Trump would have been sufficient for a conviction, but the case could not proceed due to Trump winning the presidency in the November election. Smith refuted Trump's allegations that his prosecutorial decisions were politically influenced, labeling such claims as "laughable."
In a separate portion of the report, Smith also addresses Trump's retention of sensitive national security documents after his presidency ended in 2021. While this section is not publicly available due to ongoing legal proceedings involving Trump's associates, it underscores ongoing scrutiny of Trump's actions post-presidency.
Following the report's release, Trump took to social media, dismissing Smith as a "lamebrain prosecutor" and alleging that the legal actions against him are politically motivated attempts to hinder his political career.
Both investigations have noted that Trump spread false claims of voter fraud and pressured lawmakers in an effort to overturn the election results. Trump's legal team has sought to block the release of the report, but courts have dismissed their requests.
Currently, Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and the political fallout from these developments continues to unfold as he prepares for his upcoming inauguration.
