President-elect Donald Trump unleashed on “deranged” Special Counsel Jack Smith in a furious early morning post on TruthSocial after the Department of Justice released a damning report alleging the he attempted to criminally overturn the 2020 election.

Smith's report provides new details about election-interference charges against Trump, says he believes election victory saved him from conviction.

Trump had been indicted in August 2023 on charges of working to overturn the election, but the case was delayed by appeals and ultimately significantly narrowed by a conservative-majority Supreme Court, which held for the first time that former presidents enjoy sweeping immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts.

President-elect Trump hammered Special Counsel Jack Smith following the prosecutor’s public release of his final report in the election subversion case, calling him a “lamebrain prosecutor.”

In his special counsel report, Jack Smith rebuked Donald Trump for claiming his two criminal cases were politically motivated, calling the president-elect’s accusations “laughable” and defending his decision to bring charges.
