Jack Smith defends Trump probe, can't recall subpoena details at Senate hearing

Former special counsel Jack Smith testified Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, defending his prosecutions of President Trump and saying he would not "be silenced by continued threats of prosecution." Chairman Chuck Grassley said investigators obtained at least 4,782 checks tied to Trump campaign donations. Smith could not say whether subpoenas sought lawmakers' physical locations and could not recall key details about demands for conservative fundraising records. Sen. Eric Schmitt, trying to prove Smith had lied, mixed up basketball team mascots and later brushed off the exchange.
