US EditionTrump prosecutor Smith to give public testimony to congressional panel on Jan 22
Smith will address his special counsel investigations into former President Trump, including two dropped indictments related to classified documents and the 2020 election, amid partisan disputes.
- The House Judiciary Committee has scheduled Jack Smith, former U.S. Justice Department special counsel, to testify publicly on Jan. 22 after he brought two now-dropped criminal cases against President Donald Trump.
- House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed Jack Smith for a closed-door deposition amid Republican complaints about outreach to conservative organizations and limited cell phone data from eight Republican senators.
- In the closed-door deposition, Smith defended his findings and told lawmakers he could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election.
- Questioning will proceed in five-minute increments during the public hearing, and Lanny Breuer said Smith welcomes the chance to answer questions in this format.
- A court ruling later found the special counsel appointment unlawful in the classified-documents case, which was dropped after Trump’s 2024 victory, citing DOJ policy against prosecuting a sitting president.
