Smith: Trump Prosecution Based on Actions, Not Party
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Special Counsel Jack Smith testified before Congress, clarifying that his decision to prosecute former President Donald Trump was based solely on Trumps actions. Smith emphasized that he would prosecute anyone, regardless of political party, if the facts warranted it. He revealed evidence showing Trumps criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election results, but both cases were dropped after Trump won the 2024 election. Smith maintained his decisions were based on facts and the law, not political associations. Republican lawmakers expressed concerns about Smiths inquiry, but Smith countered that Trump and his associates tried to contact members of Congress as part of their scheme. Representative Jamie Raskin noted that Smith answered every question to the satisfaction of reasonable-minded individuals present.
