The core argument posited by special counsel Jack Smith asserts that Trump’s actions to overturn the election were private endeavors, not official presidential acts.
In his brief, Smith specified that Trump's attempts after losing the election reflect a notable departure from presidential duties, classifying them as self-serving conspiracies.
The Supreme Court’s previous ruling established presidential immunity for official acts, but Smith contends Trump’s alleged misconduct lacks the official capacity definition necessary for immunity.
Key elements in the case include the January 6 riot, where Trump supporters aimed to disrupt the electoral process, highlighting the intense atmosphere surrounding the aftermath of his election loss.
