at least three statutes in connection with his efforts to remain in power after the 2020 election, according to a review of the case by legal experts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The analysis, offered in a model prosecution memo akin to what is typically prepared by prosecutors ahead of bringing charges, determines there is sufficient evidence to bring a case against Trump as well as several co-conspirators.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cTrump knew he lost the election but did not want to give up power, so he worked with his lawyers and others on a wide variety of schemes to change the outcome,\u201d a group of former prosecutors and legal experts wrote in\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justsecurity.org\/87236\/trump-on-trial-a-model-prosecution-memo-for-federal-election-interference-crimes\/\">the memo published<\/a> on Just Security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose schemes included creating fraudulent electoral certificates that were submitted to Congress, implicating statutes such as 18 U.S.C. \u00a7 371, which prohibits conspiracies to defraud the United States in the administration of elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Creating those fake electoral certificates could also implicate statutes that prohibit obstruction of an official proceeding, one of the charges also leveled at numerous rioters who entered the building, including members of the Oath Keepers and military and chauvinist group the Proud Boys.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator

seditious conspiracy, something the attorneys say \u201claid the groundwork for closely related insurrection charges against Trump.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The attorneys also said that Trump could be charged under a statute that prohibits inciting an insurrection and giving aid or comfort to insurrectionists.<\/p>\n<p>They write, however, that such charges would be weighed with \u201cextreme caution\u201d since they are rarely brought be prosecutors. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWe believe there is sufficient evidence to pursue it\u2014as did the Select Committee in making a criminal referral of Trump under that statute\u2014but prosecutors may make different choices,\u201d the memo states.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The memo comes as special counsel Jack Smith and his team have in recent weeks spoken with a number of witnesses on the matter, including state lawmakers and secretaries of state, as well as Trump allies and those who served in his administration.<\/p>\n<p>One of the top prosecutors on the case also <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared in a D.C. courthouse this week, fueling speculation that charges on the matter could soon follow.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Smith has already brought one federal indictment against Trump, filing Espionage Act and other charges related to Trump\u2019s storing of classified records at Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecution memo argues that the indictment offered clues about how Smith might pursue charges against the numerous allies involved in the effort to stay in power.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe classified documents indictment offers insight into Smith\u2019s possible thinking here. Those charges include only one co-conspirator, a measured approach suggesting that the list of defendants in this case likewise might be a short one,\u201d they write.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>It notes the Jan. 6 Select Committee recommended the Justice Department consider charges against just a handful of people: John Eastman, the attorney who pushed for Vice President Mike Pence to reject verification of the election results, and Kenneth Chesebro, who helped develop the fake elector scheme.<\/p>\n<p>The memo notes that other top aides, such as then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, have spoken with prosecutors and could be cooperating in some fashion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the stature of both Meadows and Giuliani, and their apparent level of culpability in relation to the events described in this pros memo, however, we also think it unlikely that the special counsel would grant them any kind of immunity without concomitantly requiring a plea agreement,\u201d they write.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
