House Judiciary Committee releases video and transcript of Jack Smith deposition

Former special counsel Jack Smith said he had enough evidence to convict Trump but dropped charges after the 2024 election due to DOJ policy on sitting presidents.

  • Jack Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland as the Department of Justice's special counsel to investigate President Donald Trump's actions during the January 6 Capitol attack.
  • On December 17, Smith stated that his team "developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt" that Trump criminally conspired to overturn the 2020 election results.
  • Smith emphasized that the evidence against Trump was strong enough to support a conviction.
  • Smith testified that he did not target Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election and defended his tactics as lawful.
