US EditionHouse Judiciary Committee releases video and transcript of Jack Smith deposition
Jack Smith said he had enough evidence to convict Trump on nine charges but the case was dropped after Trump’s re-election, the transcript shows.
- This month, the House Judiciary Committee released a video and 245-page transcript of its closed-door interview with Jack Smith, former special counsel.
- Earlier this month, Smith testified for more than eight hours about two criminal investigations, saying he decided to bring charges and nine rest entirely on President Donald Trump's actions.
- In the 245-page transcript, Smith said he believed there was enough evidence to convict on election-interference charges, that the case was dropped after President Donald Trump was re-elected, and Rep. Jim Jordan questioned him.
- News outlets sought comment and Republican lawmakers criticized the probes as alleged weaponization while Jack Smith denied his work was politically motivated.
- Facing personal risk, Smith noted testimony was dangerous since President Donald Trump called for his prosecution and described Trump as most culpable in the conspiracy benefiting the crimes.
