Trump, who has pleaded not guilty in the documents case, denies all wrongdoing related to the 2020 election as well. Special counsel Jack Smith on Aug. 1 announced four charges against former president Donald Trump in his investigation into the 2020 election. AdvertisementThe indictment describes Co-Conspirator 3 as “an attorney whose unfounded claims of election fraud” Trump himself said sounded “crazy” — a description that matches Trump ally Sidney Powell. On Christmas, Pence told Trump he did not have the “authority” to overturn the election. A state grand jury in Fulton County, Ga., is also considering whether to file broad charges against Trump and his lawyers, advocates and aides over their efforts to undo the 2020 election results.
