"Trump's Long History of Election Doubt Exposed in Trial"

Special counsel Jack Smith is seeking permission to present evidence to a Washington, D.C. jury about Donald Trump's previous attempts to sow doubt about the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections, which laid the foundation for his criminal effort to overturn the 2020 election. The evidence, known as 404(b) evidence, includes Trump's false claims of election fraud, his refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, his exhortation to the Proud Boys, his retaliation against Republican allies, and his alignment with Jan. 6 rioters. Prosecutors argue that this evidence will help jurors assess Trump's intent leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
