Jack Smith testifies before Congress, defending his investigations into Trump’s classified documents and election efforts, despite both cases being dismissed.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, defending his investigations into Donald Trump's handling of classified documents and attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Both cases were dismissed—following Trump's 2024 re-election and by a judge who questioned Smith's appointment—despite Smith's team's assertion that his work met legal and ethical standards. Smith, who declined to invoke the Fifth Amendment, will emphasize his impartiality and willingness to prosecute any former president in similar circumstances. His testimony comes after closed-door depositions and the release of limited public information, with Republicans questioning his actions and some prosecutors on his team facing political consequences.
