Jack Smith Testifies as GOP Presses Him Over Trump Investigations | Senate Showdown | LIVE

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 29, 2026, defending his investigations and decisions to bring criminal charges against President Donald Trump. Republican senators accused Smith of politically motivated conduct, prosecutorial overreach and improper targeting of Republicans. Smith rejected those accusations and said his investigations were based on evidence and Justice Department policy. The hearing focused on Smith’s two federal investigations into Trump — one concerning efforts to overturn the 2020 election and another involving classified documents. Smith said he stands by his decisions and would make the same prosecutorial decisions regardless of a president’s political party #JackSmith #Trump #TrumpNews #SenateHearing #SenateJudiciary #USPolitics #GOP #Republicans #DonaldTrump #CapitolHill #BreakingNews #PoliticsLive #USNews #JackSmithHearing CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
