Jordan frames Smith as weaponizing justice in Trump probe hearing

At the House Judiciary hearing, Chair Jim Jordan framed former special counsel Jack Smith as leading a politically driven pursuit of Trump, naming officials such as Fani Willis and James Comey and even referring a deputy to the DOJ; Smith defended his investigations as nonpartisan, while Democrats like Jamie Raskin argued he did his job; Trump blasted Smith on Truth Social during the proceedings, calling him 'decimated,' and several Capitol Police officers who defended the Capitol attended the hearing as observers as GOP-led funding talks continued nearby.
