Jack Smith defends Trump probe amid GOP claims of spying on lawmakers

Former special counsel Jack Smith testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, in a hearing titled "Oversight of Jack Smith's Abuse of Authority and the Targeting of Republicans," where Republicans accused him of secretly obtaining Republican lawmakers' phone records and fundraising data. Chairman Chuck Grassley said investigators obtained at least 4,782 donor checks tied to Trump contributions. Smith defended his decision to prosecute Trump but could not recall some subpoena details when questioned.
