Jack Smith Confronts Republicans with Trump Truths
During Jack Smith’s congressional testimony, Rep. Ben Cline questioned the gag order imposed on Donald Trump, suggesting a lack of “real-world harm” to justify it. However, the judge had already cited evidence of threats and harassment against individuals targeted by Trump’s public attacks. Smith countered by emphasizing the appeals court’s agreement on the basis for the order, highlighting the threats to witnesses and confirming the court’s narrowing of the order. Smith then detailed the evidence of Trump’s intimidating statements, further solidifying the necessity of the gag order.
