Former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith told lawmakers in a closed-door interview Wednesday that his team of investigators ādeveloped proof beyond a reasonable doubtā that President Donald Trumphad criminally conspired to over the results of the 2020 electionā¦
ā¦Several Democrats who emerged from Smithās interview said they could understand why Republicans did not want an open hearing based on the damaging testimony about Trump they said Smith offered.
The committeeās top Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, said the Republican majority āmade an excellent decisionā in not allowing Jack Smith to testify publicly ābecause had he done so, it would have been absolutely devastating to the president and all the presidentās men involved in the insurrectionary activitiesā of the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021ā¦
Our president violated criminal laws. Itās always the right time to focus on it until heās behind bars. Giving in to gish galloping is how we lost in 2024, and how we continue to lose.
