Evaluating Hearing Takeaways

Former special counsel Jack Smith testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday about the steps President Donald Trump and his allies took to overturn the 2020 election and to foment the January 6th insurrection. Smith did this knowing that he is already at the top of Trump’s enemies list — which the President is increasingly using the Department of Justice to prosecute. For more on the Trump administration’s latest investigations, we spoke with Ken White. He’s a former federal prosecutor and criminal defense attorney who hosts the legal podcast, “Serious Trouble.”

And in headlines, Vice President JD Vance arrives in Minnesota to “tone down the temperature a little bit,” Trump establishes the Gaza ‘Board of Peace’ as an official international organization, and the White House Twitter account gets caught being dishonest.
