Former special counsel Jack Smith will tell the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday that President Trump was charged because evidence showed he “willfully broke the very laws he swore to uphold,” Axios reports.
Smith’s highly anticipated public testimony marks his first open defense of the Trump prosecutions, as Republicans intensify efforts to portray the investigations as politically motivated.
CNN: Jack Smith is “not afraid” of Donald Trump, his legal team says ahead of Thursday testimony.
