By Zoe Tillman, Chris Strohm and David Voreacos, Bloomberg News WASHINGTON — Donald Trump should stand trial for his “private crimes” in trying to overturn the 2020 election, U. S. prosecutors argued in a newly unsealed court filing that sheds fresh light on his interactions with former Vice President Mike Pence.
