A US Department of Justice report released to Congress has found that president-elect Donald Trump would have been convicted of illegally trying to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election, if not for his recent re-election victory in 2024.

The report was unveiled after a US federal judge appointed by Mr Trump ruled that it can be released.
