This is why the House GOP refused Jack Smith's request that he be allowed to testify in public: Smith said he had proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election and prevent the transfer of power. Also, he'd charge him again.

Former special counsel Jack Smith told a House committee Thursday that he stands by the decisions he made in that role, "including the decision to bring charges against President Trump." In a hearing focused on Smith's investigations into President Donald Trump's mishandling of classified documents and role in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Smith said his investigation developed proof "beyond a reasonable doubt" that Trump had engaged in criminal activity. "If asked whether to prosecute a former president based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that president was a Democrat or Republican," Smith said. "No one should be above the law in this country," he added. The hearing is an opportunity for the career prosecutor to publicly offer his inside perspective on the investigations, which both led to unprecedented indictments. Both were scuttled once it was clear that Trump would return to the Oval Office; Department of Justice policy prevents prosecution of a sitting president. Republicans and the president have accused Smith of pursuing a politically motivated case against the president. Trump has denied wrongdoing while attacking Smith, calling him a "criminal" who ought to be investigated and "put in prison." Smith defended his investigations in an hourslong closed-door meeting with lawmakers in December, saying he said he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" of what his investigations laid out. He's denied accusations of bias.

Let’s be crystal clear. These aren’t “spin.” These aren’t “interpretations.” These are documented lies and legal conclusions — and we’re calling them what they are: lies. 1. Trump said he wasn’t in the Epstein files. He is in the files. Proven. Period. 2. Trump said he ran to lower prices. Inflation and costs for everyday Americans are still higher today than when he took office. That campaign promise was flatly false. 3. Trump promised he wouldn’t gut healthcare. He allowed the enhanced Obamacare subsidies to expire, causing premiums to jump and coverage to worsen for millions. That wasn’t an accident — it was a betrayal of his pledge. 4. Trump claimed he would be a peace-time president. He escalated military action without Congressional approval. That was a lie. 5. Trump said he lost the 2020 election because it was “rigged.” Special Counsel Jack Smith confirmed under oath that Trump privately acknowledged losing the 2020 election — even though he repeatedly claimed otherwise in public. That’s a lie layered on top of a lie. 6. Trump said he didn’t try to overturn the 2020 election. Smith testified that his investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the election and impede the lawful transfer of power, and that the Capitol riot “does not happen without” Trump’s actions. That isn’t opinion — that’s what the prosecutor said under oath. Trump lied about it. 7. Trump said he respected the rule of law. He was indicted on federal charges for illegally retaining classified documents and obstructing justice, and Smith explained he had powerful evidence of willful retention of sensitive materials and obstruction. Claiming he respected the law while hiding classified docs was a lie. 8. Trump said he stood for law and order. He refused to call off the mob on January 6 while people were in danger, and Smith testified the attack wouldn’t have happened without him. That claim was a lie. 9. Trump said he couldn’t be bought and wouldn’t abuse his office. He used his presidency to pardon allies convicted for crimes related to January 6 and pressured officials to manipulate election outcomes. That was a lie. 10. Trump said he always tells the truth. He has been documented making thousands of demonstrably false statements while also being accused — by the prosecutor himself — of engaging in criminal conduct. Claiming truthfulness after that is the ultimate lie. Bottom line: These aren’t partisan talking points. They’re documented claims, sworn testimony, legal findings, public data, and measurable outcomes. When someone tells the truth, it lines up with reality. When someone tells a lie, the record — not the rhetoric — reveals it.
