Jack Smith argues in new filing that Donald Trump is responsible for the Jan. 6 attack.


A team of federal prosecutors led by special counsel Jack Smith filed a response to Donald Trump’s attempt to dismiss the case against him, stating that Trump bears responsibility for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The filing alleges that Trump willfully caused his supporters to obstruct the certification of President Biden’s election victory by spreading false claims of election fraud and pressuring Vice President Pence and legislators. Trump’s lawyers have argued that the indictment stretches applicable statutes based on false claims and seeks to blame events he did not control. The case is ongoing, with legal filings exchanged between Smith’s team and Trump’s lawyers. The Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity affected part of the case against Trump. Smith’s team maintains that the superseding indictment against Trump is valid and includes allegations of creating and using false evidence to obstruct the certification proceeding. The defense motion to dismiss based on claims of presidential immunity has been given an extension, and the outcome of the case may depend on the election results. Trump has denied wrongdoing and claimed the indictment is politically motivated. The case alleges that Trump resorted to criminal acts to remain in office after his loss in the 2020 election.
