Special Counsel Jack Smith found President-elect Donald Trump engaged in an unprecedented criminal effort to overturn his 2020 election defeat, according to a report released by the Department of Justice on Tuesday.

Smith, who resigned in the wake of Trump’s election victory in November, also found charges could be justified against Trump’s co-conspirators but reached no final conclusions, according to the report.
