Jack Smith’s Case: Did He Have “Proof Beyond Reasonable Doubt” Against Trump?
According to a released transcript from a congressional deposition, former special counsel Jack Smith confirmed he never communicated with President Joe Biden regarding his investigations into Donald Trump. Smith defended the charges against Trump, emphasizing the potential for “catastrophic” consequences if election interference goes unpunished. During the testimony, Smith asserted he operated independently, without interference from top justice department officials, and maintained that his actions were not politically motivated. Smith also addressed concerns over the collection of phone data, clarifying that only call details, not their contents, were obtained to investigate Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
