Judge unseals filing in special counsel's election case against Trump

Oct. 2 (UPI) -- New details from special counsel Jack Smith's election interference case against Donald Trump were unsealed Wednesday, revealing prosecutors' claims that the former president "resorted to crimes to try to stay in office."

U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia Tanya Chatman unsealed the 165-page filing, which lays out Smith's case that Trump was acting as a private citizen when he disputed the 2020 election results. The former president is currently seeking a second term in a tight race with Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
