Jack Smith Testifies on Trump Probes at House Hearing

Smith’s Opening Remarks on Trump’s Legal Issues

In his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee, Special Counsel Jack Smith will assert that Donald Trump “willfully broke the very laws that he took an oath to uphold,” defending his decision to charge Trump. Smith emphasizes that no one is above the law and expresses gratitude for his investigative team amidst public pressure. He will likely refrain from discussing ongoing court proceedings related to the classified documents case. Smith’s call for public testimony follows months of negotiation and a prior closed-door session.
