Trump's video from 2016 election used as evidence of his belief in election fraud: Former President Trump's video from 2016 encouraging supporters to ensure their votes were counted is being used as evidence of his long-standing belief in election fraud in ongoing cases against him.
During the 2016 election, former President Donald Trump made a video encouraging his supporters to go to great lengths to participate in caucuses and make sure their votes were counted. This video, which could be considered hearsay evidence under Rule 404b of the Federal Rules of Evidence, shows a pattern of Trump alleging fraud and conspiracy in elections, regardless of the circumstances. Special Counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis are expected to use this evidence in their respective cases against Trump. The video is an example of Trump's long-standing belief in denying the results of free and fair elections. Trump has repeatedly released similar videos, providing the prosecution with additional evidence to support their cases.
Using past false claims as evidence under Rule 404(b): The government can use a defendant's past false claims about election fraud as evidence under Rule 404(b) to establish motive, intent, preparation, knowledge, absence of mistake, and common plan, not to demonstrate criminal propensity or character.
During the trial against the defendant, the government intends to use the defendant's past false claims about election fraud, both before and after the charged criminal conspiracies, as evidence under Rule 404(b) of the Federal Rules of Evidence. These claims are not meant to demonstrate the defendant's criminal propensity or character, but rather to establish his motive, intent, preparation, knowledge, absence of mistake, and common plan. For instance, the defendant's public statements about alleged fraud in the 2012 and 2016 elections will be presented as evidence, as they show the defendant's pattern of falsely accusing election results of being fraudulent when unfavorable to him. This includes statements made on social media and during campaign rallies. Even statements made after the charged criminal conspiracies, such as the defendant's claim that the 2020 election was stolen, will be admissible as they are relevant to the defendant's overall plan and motive.
Trump's history of questioning election results: Trump has repeatedly denied election results, suggesting fraud and a rigged system, even during his own campaigns, raising concerns about peaceful power transfer
Throughout his political career, Donald Trump has a history of denying the results of elections and questioning the integrity of the electoral process. This was evident during the 2016 Iowa caucus when Senator Ted Cruz was involved in fraud, and Trump suggested that the results should be nullified or a new election should take place. Trump has continued to make such claims, even during his own presidential campaigns, alleging widespread voter fraud and a rigged system. This pattern of behavior was highlighted in a montage by The Washington Post. Despite being asked if he would commit to accepting the results of an election if he lost, Trump has consistently refused to do so, fueling concerns about the potential for a peaceful transfer of power.

Trump has publicly expressed his intention to pardon some of these individuals and has financially supported and celebrated them, even playing their recordings of the national anthem at political rallies. This contrasts with the lengthy sentences received by these offenders and raises questions about Trump's stance on the January 6th attack.
