Newsweek - Former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith told lawmakers in a closed-door interview Wednesday that his investigative team “developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that President Donald Trump criminally conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to portions of Smith’s opening statement obtained by The Associated Press.
Smith also said investigators amassed “powerful evidence” that Trump broke the law by retaining classified documents from his first term at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and by obstructing government efforts to recover the records.
“I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump’s political association, activities, beliefs or candidacy in the 2024 election,” Smith said. “We took actions based on what the facts and the law required — the very lesson I learned early in my career as a prosecutor.”
