Smith Testifies on Trump Election Scheme, Classified Docs
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Special Counsel Jack Smith, who found proof beyond a reasonable doubt of Trumps criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election, is set to testify before Congress. Trump, who pleaded not guilty in both cases, has called for investigations into the officials who brought charges against him. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, a Trump ally, has criticized Smiths investigations as partisan and politically motivated. Smiths team subpoenaed phone records of Republican lawmakers, leading to concerns and a closed-door session. Smiths attorney, Peter Koski, expressed disappointment that Smiths offer for an open hearing was rejected. Trump has labeled Smith a criminal and suggested he should be investigated and put in prison. Smith plans to tell lawmakers that the basis for charges rests with Trump and his actions, and that investigators found powerful evidence of Trump keeping classified documents and hindering efforts to return them.
