'Why only Trump, no other co-conspirators?': Knott, Lee confront Smith on charges at fiery hearing
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith faced intense questioning during his first public testimony before Congress as lawmakers scrutinised his prosecutions of Donald Trump. Rep. Brad Knott pressed Smith on why only Trump was charged in the Jan. 6 case despite multiple alleged co-conspirators, while Rep. Laurel Lee questioned whether Smith could prove Trump knowingly sought to overturn the election. Smith defended his decisions, saying charging determinations were still underway when his work ended.
