An unnamed campaign employee of former President Donald Trump tried to start a riot in Detroit, Michigan, to obstruct the counting of votes in the 2020 election, special counsel Jack Smith claimed in a new filing this week Tuesday..
According to the new filing, the Trump agent, who has not been indicted, got in touch with officials on Nov. 4, 2020 — the day after election day.
"The Campaign Employee exchanged a series of text messages with an attorney supporting the Campaign’s election day operations at the TCF Center in Detroit, where votes were being counted," Smith's office wrote.
"[I]n the messages, the Campaign Employee encouraged rioting and other methods of obstruction when he learned that the vote count was trending in favor of the defendant’s opponent."
It went on, "An election official at the TCF [convention] Center observed that as Biden began to take the lead, a large number of untrained individuals flooded the TCF Center and began making illegitimate and aggressive challenges to the vote count," prosecutors continued in the filing.
The filing, according to The Washington Post, also more broadly alleges that the former president "sent" his supporters on a path to the violence that took place on January 6 at the U.S. Capitol.

..."The revelation drew a direct connection between the frenzy that took place at Detroit's riverfront convention center the day after the Nov. 3, 2020, election and the Trump campaign, which later trumpeted unproven and false theories of voter fraud in Michigan's largest city. The new allegation came in a nine-page notice about evidence special counsel Jack Smith plans to introduce as part of his criminal case against Trump, focused on his efforts to overturn the election, in the District of Columbia.
Democrats who monitored the counting of votes in Detroit said they weren't surprised by Smith's finding, but supporters of Trump denied that the claim was true.
Smith's team has evidence that Trump and his co-conspirators had knowledge of "unfavorable election results" and an intent "subvert them," according to the filing. Trump lost Michigan to Democrat Joe Biden by 154,000 votes or 3 percentage points.
