Jack Smith’s final report for January 6 is out. Read it here.

  • Special Counsel Jack Smith released his final report on the January 6 insurrection.

  • The report is his final word on the 2020 election interference case.

  • Smith concluded by saying that Trump would have been convicted had he not won the 2024 election.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has just released his final report on the January 6 insurrection.

The 137-page document, which was sent to Congress by the Justice Department on Jan. 7 and made public early Tuesday, summarized years of Smith’s investigation into the 2020 election interference case involving President-elect Donald Trump.

The report concluded that Trump would have been convicted in the case had he not been elected president in 2024.

“Indeed, but due to Mr. Trump’s election and impending return to the presidency, the Bureau determined that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial,” Smith wrote in the final line of the report.

In the report, Smith wrote that evidence showed Trump had disrupted a democratic process that had “functioned in a peaceful and orderly manner for more than 130 years.”

Trump wrote a post on Truth Social early Tuesday in response to Smith’s report, calling the prosecutor “desperate” and “a lamebrain prosecutor who failed to get his case to trial before the election.”

In November, shortly after Trump’s election victory, Smith asked federal judges for permission to drop the case against Trump, saying it would violate longstanding DOJ policy against prosecuting a sitting president.
