"Prosecutors leverage Trump's tweets to expose long pattern of threats and baseless claims"

The special counsel Jack Smith plans to use former President Donald Trump's tweets, dating back to 2012, in his trial for allegedly engaging in a conspiracy to defraud the US and illegally overturn the 2020 election results. The court filing alleges that Trump's tweets demonstrate a "common plan of falsely blaming fraud for election results he does not like" and show his motive, intent, and plan to obstruct the certification of the election results. Trump has been indicted on four charges and pleaded not guilty. His trial is scheduled to begin in March.
