Trump, Smith's team said,"willfully caused others" to obstruct the certification of President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory by repeating his false claims of election fraud and giving"false hope" to his supporters who believed that then-Vice President Mike Pence might overturn the election, and by"pressuring" Pence and legislators to accept fraudulent certificates as part of the fake electors scheme.
