YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Almost five years after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith testified before Congress, defending his investigations into Donald Trump.

In the election-interference case, Smith said his team found evidence that Trump both caused and exploited the violence at the Capitol and failed to act for hours to stop it.

The cases were later dismissed after Trump returned to office, in keeping with a Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting president. Trump denies wrongdoing and has criticized Smith’s findings.
