US EditionFormer Special Counsel Jack Smith tells House Trump broke the law in first public testimony
Jack Smith testified publicly to defend evidence of Trump's criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and classified documents mishandling amid partisan attacks.
- On Jan 22, Jack Smith, former U.S. special counsel, testified before the House Judiciary Committee in Washington, saying his probe found proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Donald Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election.
- The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan, is probing Smith's indictments after he dropped the two criminal cases citing Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting president.
- Smith noted the human toll of January 6, 2021, citing 140 law enforcement officers injured and investigators reviewing phone records from more than a half-dozen Republican lawmakers.
- The hearing split along partisan lines with Republican lawmakers attacking Smith while Democratic lawmakers defended him, as the Trump administration fired dozens of Justice Department lawyers and staffers in a retribution campaign.
- A report on the classified-documents probe remains sealed by order of Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, and Jack Smith's extended public testimony may shape the American public's understanding of January 6 and accountability.
