evidence: Washington — U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has made public a key filing from special counsel Jack Smith that includes evidence compiled in his investigation into former President Donald Trump's alleged efforts to subvert the transfer of presidential power after the 2020 election. [...] The narrative begins in the weeks before the 2020 presidential election, when prosecutors said Trump was briefed on the likelihood that many Democratic voters would cast their ballots by mail and have their votes counted after Election Day. Investigators alleged Trump told his advisers that he would "simply declare victory before all the ballots were counted and any winner was projected." [...] Notably, investigators revealed Trump and his allies — including Giuliani — allegedly attempted to "exploit the violence and chaos at the Capitol" in a bid to delay the election certification further by calling senators and leaving voicemails asking that they object to the states.
