Smith: Evidence of Trump’s 2020 election crimes shown in public testimony
Jack Smith testified before the House Judiciary Committee, defending his decision to indict Donald Trump and saying the investigation produced proof of criminal activity tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election. He defended obtaining toll records of calls by Trump allies to reconstruct the timeline, stressed none of the targeted individuals were lawmakers, and argued First Amendment protections do not apply to actions used to pursue a criminal scheme.
