Jack Smith defends decision to charge Trump at Senate hearing
Smith said the evidence justified both Trump cases and rejected claims that his team used subpoenas and records requests for partisan reasons.
- On Tuesday, Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt accused former Special Counsel Jack Smith of perjury during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, alleging Smith met with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in Atlanta on February 3, 2024.
- Schmitt sought to prove Smith colluded with Georgia prosecutors to target President Donald Trump, citing text messages he believed placed Smith at an Atlanta Hawks game the day after Willis disclosed a relationship with Nathan Wade.
- Smith clarified he actually attended a University of Maryland game to watch Iowa Hawkeyes star Caitlin Clark, a confusion Sen. Amy Klobuchar helped identify in real time.
- Observers described the moment as 'completely humiliating,' with Klobuchar stating Schmitt owed Smith 'an apology' for the botched attack on the former prosecutor.
- The failed attempt exposed risks of relying on misread evidence during high-stakes testimony, reflecting intense partisan friction surrounding Smith's investigations into Trump.
