法官Tanya Chutkan公开特别检察官Jack Smith的简报，概述了唐纳德·特朗普在选举干预案中是否享有豁免权。简报详细描述了特朗普试图颠覆2020年总统大选的计划，并认为这些证据不应因最高法院的豁免权裁决而被排除在审判之外。最高法院的豁免权裁决导致特朗普的选举干预指控无法进行审判，这使得公众无法通过陪审团审判来决定特朗普的行为是否构成犯罪。简报中包含了大量关于特朗普试图颠覆2020年大选的新证据，例如特朗普告诉彭斯彭斯“太诚实”；一名同谋者欣然赞同煽动暴乱以阻止计票；特朗普对彭斯生命受到威胁的回应是“那又怎样？”；以及特朗普的顾问告诉他无法在法庭上证实其选民舞弊的主张时，特朗普回答说“细节不重要”。这些证据突显了最高法院裁决的荒谬性以及对民主造成的损害。
