Will Saletan lays out the case against Donald Trump that Jack Smith never got to present at trial. Drawing from Smith’s testimony before Congress, Will looks at the evidence that Trump was repeatedly told the truth about the 2020 election by his own advisers, Republican officials, and Justice Department officials and chose to ignore it.

From Georgia and Pennsylvania to the January 6 attack on the Capitol, Will walks through what prosecutors would have shown a jury about Trump’s election lies, his efforts to pressure officials, and his refusal to stop the violence after it began.

A quick note: We’re proud that The Bulwark can make videos like this. Not everything should be built to chase the algorithm. Sometimes you want someone as talented and tenacious as Will Saletan to take the time to dig through the record, connect the pieces, and make the full case. That kind of work takes time and resources, and it’s only possible because our audience supports it.
