What did Trump know about 2020 election results? (Democracy on Trial: Pt. 3)

Watch Part 3 of “Democracy on Trial.” In it, published here as a series of short docs, FRONTLINE investigates the roots of the federal criminal case against ex-Pres. Donald Trump, stemming from his 2020 election loss.

The investigation traces the road to this unprecedented moment and examines the implications of the historic criminal case unfolding in the midst of a presidential election year.

Drawing on court documents and revelatory interviews with elected officials, former government lawyers, House Select Committee witnesses, and former committee staffers, authors, and journalists, “Democracy on Trial” reports that the work of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6th Capitol attack provided the groundwork for special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump and may offer insights into how the trial unfolds.

A "confidence man is a "con man."

“Democracy on Trial” chronicles how the committee built its case against Trump and tried to prove his intent, how it chose to present its case to the American public, and criticisms of its work.

The documentary also examines how Trump has challenged the case. Trump has pleaded not guilty and made the legal argument, now being reviewed by an appellate court, that he has “absolute immunity” from prosecution for his actions while in office.

The writers are Michael Kirk and Mike Wiser. The reporters are Vanessa Fica and Brooke Nelson Alexander.
