Special counsel Jack Smith argued in a new filing that former President Trump was “fundamentally” acting as a private candidate and not as president when he tried to overturn the 2020 election. The filing was an attempt by Smith to preserve the case against Trump after the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision. NBC News’ Ken Dilanian reports.
Lester Holt asks NBC News’ Garrett Haake, who covers the Trump campaign, whether the release of the filing in the Trump election case could affect the election.

I love smith because he is a true Patriot
Didn't cuomo go after Clinton close to the 2016 election?
Why would any American expect elected Republicans to honor election results this time or the Constitution for that matter. Good luck America.
TRUMPS GOING TO WIN 2024!!!!!!😂😅😂
2020 was 4 years ago. TRUMP 2024❤
THE LEFT IS GOING TO LOSE😅😂😅
Right before an election
TRUMP 2024❤
5 reasons to vote against Donald Trump!
1 Donald Trump will not stop implementing
stupid and anti-democratic ideas.
It will never be enough for him!
2 The longer Trump is in power,
the farther from the norm.
Remember what a mess it was under Trump!
What terrible laws were passed then.
The US couldn't cope even with COVID-19!
3 US resources are not infinite,
Trump wants the US to use
only the country's own resources, this will worsen the environmental situation in the USA!
4. Donald Trump didn't think about
the economy at all.
although he is a businessman
and pumped out resources only for
his own purposes.
All resources were mined in the US
for extensive economic growth.
Also, the US economy has suffered
due to the trade war with China!
5 After Trump’s victory, the situation
will immediately worsen, the United States
will face a policy of isolation, deportation
of migrants, inadequate policy,
escalation by NATO and international,
ban on Spanish language, and when Trump's
second term comes to an end, he will again arrange
bloody coup and nothing good!
Trump is a no good man, what so ever, we need to never ever vote for this criminal for a President again. NEVER! !
I mist have missed this in civics class!
POTUS JOB DESCRIPTION:
• May overthrow an election if you do not like the results.
The DOJ "rule" is really about bringing new indictments or charges against a political candidate. This is a continuation of an already indicted case that was purposefully delayed by the Defendant. NO SYMPATHY HERE!!! LOCK DUMpt's a$$ UP NOW!!
No one cares
Voters deserve to know the truth about who they’re voting for, of course this should influence the race.
Demons are definitely guiding Smith
This is just another attempt by the hopelessly. Lost judge to discredit, Trump, to. Try to change the outcome of the current election.
But all this has ended up going to do is show how desperately the democrats do not want trump back in office.
Just like hey democrats online threats and A/s attempts.
Trump tried to overthrow the election knowing he had lost. Let that sink in.
This is sickening he tried to overthrow the government and the republicans reward him,,,a prison cell should be his reward.
Thank you Mr. Smith! Very appreciated!
When ur 2 assassination attempts didn’t work, time for Dems to draw up “new” lies!!
Trump delay delay delay, that's why this has not come out till now. He got what he wanted a delay till he and his lawyers couldn't come up with a.new excuse that followed the law.
Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent
If you can't do the time don't do the crimes. Snowflake republicans.
The Word Democracy coming out of Trump's mouth, just proves, he has no idea what Democracy is!
IM A KNUCKLEHEAD- tim walz 💀😂😭😆😅😂
No one cares, you can't stop the Trump Army.
Justice system is all BS. It's already been 4 years and If Trump wins, all the court stuff gets dropped.. Even if he doesn't win, it will be years more of legal maneuvering and appeals. Eventually the Supreme Court will let Trump off the hook (if he lives that long).
Poor democrats. So gullible.
