Smith testifies on Capitol Hill, defending Trump investigations
TL;DR
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith testified before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, defending his two investigations into Donald Trump—one over the 2020 election and the other into classified documents—saying the cases were pursued ‘based on the facts and the law,’ not politics. He noted that indictments were brought and later dropped after Trump won the 2024 election, and he praised the independence and integrity of his team as Republicans framed the hearing as politically charged.
