Today an indictment was unsealed, charging Donald J. Trump with conspiring to defraud the United States, conspiring to disenfranchise voters and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding," Smith said during the press conference. "The indictment was issued by a grand jury of citizens here in the District of Columbia and it sets forth the crimes charged in detail. I encourage everyone to read it in full."
Critics of Smith are urging Americans to read another court file: the reversal of Smith's bribery conviction of former Virginia GOP Gov. Robert McDonnell a few years earlier.
McDonnell was prosecuted by Jack Smith for violating federal bribery law, which resulted in the United States Supreme Court overturning the conviction unanimously.
After the former governor was convicted by the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section run by Smith, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled 8-0 that McDonnell did not violate any bribery laws, even if his actions weren't in great taste.
