NEW DETAILS FROM JACK SMITH

1) A Trump campaign employee and alleged coconspirator sought to foment chaos at the TCF ballot processing center in Detroit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

2) Trump sidelined his campaign leal team on Nov. 13, putting RUdy Giuliani (CC1) in charge because he was willing to lie about the election results.

2) Pence told Trump he saw no evidence of outcome-determinative fruad. They had MANY conversations, some detailed in Pence's book, which prosecutors cite.

3) Smith says he plans to prove at trial that Trump and his alies made up claims about noncitizen voters out of whole cloth.

4) Trump repeatedly promised to "package up" and provide evidence to Gov. Ducey, Gov. Kemp and Rusty Bowers re: election fraud but never did.

Broke the thread earlier. Here is the rest of it:

6) A U.S. senator (P27) helped facilitate a Dec. 8 call between Trump and Georgia AG Chris Carr.

7) Trump clearly addressed Carr as a political candidate, per Smith's filing, saying "we're running out of time," talked about the Georgia runoffs and electing Loeffler/Perdue. He told Carr not to lobby other AGs against signing onto a Supreme Court amicus brief.

8) Trump asked RNC chairwoan Ronna McDaniel to meet with Michigan GOP leaders but she said she coudln't because it could be considered lobbying.

Trump dialed her in anyway.

9) Rudy tried to text a Michigan GOP leader a proposed resolution declaring the election in dispute -- but he sent it to a wrong number.

10) On Nov. 20, Trump muted his phone while Sidney Powell was talking and mocked her repeatedly, calling her claims "crazy" and making a Star Trek reference.

11) Ronna McDANIEL told turp she would not promote a report claiming Dominion voting machines had been manipulated in Michigan's Antrip county, in part because she had been told the report was "fucking nuts."

12) Ken Chesebro (CC5) was instructed by co-conspirator 6 to only communicate by text with him and John Eastman.

13) Smith provides details of private texts and conversations Trump was having with alleged co-conspirators just around Christmas, all related to the pressure campaign against Mike Pence.

14) Trump spoke to Bannon on Jan. 5 less than two hours before Bannon predicted on his War Room podcast that "all hell is going to break loose" on Jan. 6.

15) When Trump allies learned that Pence's lawyer, Greg Jacob, had refused to back up their plan to subvert the election, Bannon (P1) responded, "Fuck his lawyer."

16) ! Trump was *alone* in the Oval Office dining room when he tweeted his attack on Pence, prosecutors say, even as the Fox News broadcast he had on made clear the Capitol had been breached and was locked down.

17) Smith lays out more details of Giuliani's effort to lobby lawmakers to continue challenging election results even as the Capitol remained locked down and police were clearing the building.

Jack Smith says Trump made knowingly false claims about election fraud in 2020.

Trump, responding to the new filing, makes knowingly false claims about why this document was released today.

(It was filed on Sept. 26 and unsealed by Judge Chutkan — not DOJ — today)

MORE: WHen Trump was informed that Pence was taken to a secure location during the Jan. 6 violence — just minutes after Trump had attacked him in a tweet — Smith says Trump's response to an aide was "So what?"

Smith plans to introduce evidence fome an FBI forensic examiner showing Trump's phone use on Jan. 6 —- and tha the was using the Twitter app consistently throughout the day after his speech.

Per Smith, Trump told Ivanka and Jared Kushner: "It doesn't matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell."

MORE DETAILS: Per Smith's filing, Trump told Eric Herschmann that he would only pay Rudy if he succeded, Herschmann assured him he would never have to pay Rudy anything. Trump laughed and said "We'll see."

John EASTMAN (CC2) told Rusty Bowers to call the legislature back into session — even though he didn't have legal authority to do so — and "let the courts sort it out," per Smith

NEW: Here are some of the most striking and notable details in Jack Smith's new filing revealing previously unreleased evidence about Trump's effort to subvert the 2020 election.

MORE: Rudy Giuliani (CC1) orchestrated the ouster of RNC legal counsel Justin Riemer (P43), after Riemer contradicted his claims of fraud.

Others: Justin Clark (P3), Eric Herschmann (P9) Jenna Ellis (P12), Ronna McDaniel (P39)

Former Rep. Thomas Marino (P57) dropped out as a Trump elector designee because he thought the false elector plan was illegal, Smith says.

When PA electors resisted signing documents without a caveat, Trump campaign aides (including Jenna Ellis, P12) mocked them. "Whoever selected this slate should be shot," one of the aides said.

NOTABLE: Jack Smith suggests Trump "resumed" daily converastions with Steve BANNON (P1) around the time his focused turned to pressuring Pence. Bannon's purported role is detailed more granularly here than anywhere else. (He's currently in jail for defying J6 committee subpoena)

IMPORTANT: Here is a clear example of Jack Smith breaking executive privilege (left) where the Jan. 6 committee could not (right).

Trump asked Pat Cipollone (P59) to *leave* the Jan. 4 meeting with John Eastman, per Smith. Cipollone wouldn't discuss that moment with Congress.

By pushing Cipollone out of the room, Trump ensured that Pence did not hear a dissenting voice (at least from the Trump side) on whether Eastman's plan to block Biden's Electoral College win could work.

MORE: Jack Smith says Trump sent or directed the sending of all tweets form his @ realdonaldtrump account -- and other than him, only Dan Scavino (P45) had access to the account.

Smith plans to call Scavino at trial to discuss Trump's Twitter habits.
