President Trump broke the law, former special counsel Jack Smith told committee members Thursday at an appearance before the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee.
Smith, who led investigations into Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election and alleged mishandling of classified documents, is testifying publicly for first time about his probes.
“President Trump was charged because the evidence established that he willfully broke the law, the very laws he took an oath to uphold,” Smith said. “Grand juries in two separate districts reached this conclusion based on his actions as alleged in the indictments they returned.”
Smith also said that the facts and the law supported a prosecution, and that he made decisions not based on politics, but the facts and the law.President Trump broke the law, former special counsel Jack Smith told committee members Thursday at an appearance before the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee.
