Takeaways from Jack Smith on his case against Trump, 'so many witnesses' and the threats ahead

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith testified publicly for the first time on Capitol Hill about his investigation of President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Over five hours, he detailed how the defeated president “sought to prey” on supporters and “stay in power,” culminating in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The House Judiciary Committee delved into far-flung details — from a former White House aide's earlier blockbuster testimony to Smith's subpoena of certain lawmakers' phone records. Trump was live-posting his rage against Smith, suggesting the former career prosecutor should himself be prosecuted. Smith said he would “not be intimidated.”
