Jack Smith Tells Congress Trump Is Seeking Revenge Over Charges

Former Justice Department official Jack Smith, who secured indictments against Donald Trump, testified before Congress that the former president is unfairly seeking revenge against prosecutors, FBI agents, and support staff who worked on his investigations. Smith said Trump is retaliating against these individuals simply for their involvement in the cases, which include charges related to Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his mishandling of classified information. The testimony from Smith, who served as the special counsel overseeing these investigations, marks his first public remarks on the matter. Bloomberg News Justice Department reporter Chris Strohm further discussed Smith's testimony and the ongoing legal battles surrounding Trump.
