The June date appears correct according to Britannica.com. Many "Jack Smiths" around!! Very common name . 2603:8000:8901:FC1B:D185:5763:CC60:F528 (talk) 20:46, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add A Fact: "Trump's private actions in election case"

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

Smith argues that the actions Trump took to overturn the election were in his private capacity – as a candidate – rather than in his official capacity, as a president. That argument flows from the Supreme Court’s decision in July, which granted the former president sweeping immunity for official actions but left the door open for prosecutors to pursue Trump for unofficial steps he took.

The fact comes from the following source:
