Former US special counsel Jack Smith defended his investigative record during a four-hour Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on September 29.
AP reported that Republican senators questioned Smith’s investigations of Donald Trump, while Smith said political considerations did not influence his work.
Hearing focuses on past Trump investigations
The hearing examined Smith’s access to congressional lawmakers’ phone records during investigations into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Smith also rejected suggestions that he should be silenced by threats of prosecution.
The proceedings reflect continuing political and legal disputes surrounding the investigations conducted before Trump returned to office.
