WASHINGTON — The long-awaited report by U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith offers a detailed account of former President Donald Trump’s attempts to retain power after losing the 2020 election and highlights his deteriorating relationship with Columbus native Vice President Mike Pence in the final weeks of his first administration.

Trump allegedly tried to keep Mike Pence mentally isolated and said people would "hate his guts" if he certified Biden's 2020 win.

The report arrives less than a week before Trump is sworn into office, and came after a last-ditch appeal from the president-elect to his favorite judge, Aileen Cannon, to prevent its release. She declined late Monday night, and the report was subsequently released. Read the full report here.
