Criminal investigation into Trump's election fraud allegations focuses on money trail: Special Counsel Jack Smith's probe examines Trump's team's fundraising based on false election fraud claims, potential wire fraud, money laundering, and unintended uses of funds, including alleged data theft in GA, MI, and PA
Special Counsel Jack Smith's criminal investigation into Donald Trump's alleged crimes related to the 2020 election is ongoing, with a focus on the money trail. Trump and his unindicted coconspirators, such as Sydney Powell, are accused of raising funds through false allegations of election fraud and diverting that money to unintended uses, potentially constituting wire fraud and money laundering. The investigation also targets the utilization of that money, which may have been used to fund individuals who breached election offices and stole data in places like Michigan, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. For instance, in Coffee County, Georgia, Kathy Latham, a former GOP chair, is suspected of providing election data to Trump's team to manipulate and further their fraudulent claims. The investigation is ongoing, with Smith still calling witnesses.
Investigation into financing of false voter fraud claims: The special counsel is probing the financing of false voter fraud claims during the 2020 election, focusing on how money was used and laundered to facilitate people breaching election offices, which could be considered criminal conduct.
The special counsel's election probe continues to focus on the financing of the false claims of voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. Witnesses before the grand jury in Washington D.C. have reportedly testified about the money raised off these claims and how it was used and laundered to facilitate people breaching election offices. The special counsel, Jack Smith, is reportedly investigating this area, and even if the money was used for other improper purposes, it could be considered criminal conduct. For instance, CNN obtained invoices from Sydney Powell's nonprofit, which was involved in accessing breached voting equipment in several swing states. It's important to note that there is no dispute that people did indeed breach election offices, and the question at hand is whether the money raised off false accusations was used for that purpose. This investigation underscores the importance of holding accountable those who attempted to undermine the democratic process and the potential consequences of spreading misinformation.

Sydney Powell Denies Representing Trump in Election Cases: Sydney Powell distanced herself from Trump's election legal team, denying any involvement in related court proceedings. Meanwhile, a grand jury investigates election interference with a potential expiration date, and Powell is under scrutiny for her baseless claims.
Sydney Powell, a lawyer who gained notoriety for her involvement in legal efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential election results, recently filed a motion in Georgia stating that she never represented Donald Trump or his campaign. She had no role in any legal proceedings or court hearings related to the campaign. Powell's actions and statements, which have included claims of election fraud and the release of the "kraken," have been widely criticized as baseless and potentially harmful to the democratic process. Meanwhile, special counsel Jack Smith is reportedly investigating election interference in the 2020 election, with a grand jury in Washington D.C. currently considering evidence. The grand jury's term is set to expire on September 15th, but it can be extended. Smith has also questioned witnesses about conspiracy theories involving Sidney Powell and others, further highlighting the importance of this investigation. Overall, the developments in these cases underscore the ongoing efforts to ensure the integrity of the democratic process and the potential consequences of spreading false information.
Prioritizing March 2024 Trial Against Trump in Florida Case: Special Counsel Jack Smith focuses on March 2024 trial against Trump in Florida case, may avoid superseding indictment to prevent delays.
Special Counsel Jack Smith is prioritizing the March 4, 2024 trial date against Donald Trump in the Southern District of Florida case involving the theft of classified records. He may not bring a superseding indictment if it could delay this trial, but instead opt for another indictment related to different charges, such as fundraising crimes. Smith is being cautious to avoid delays that could jeopardize the March 2024 trial. If he feels that a new indictment won't cause significant delay, he may proceed. However, if there's a risk of delay, he may hold off. This strategy is aimed at keeping the March 2024 trial on track while continuing to build evidence for potential future cases.
