Former special counsel Jack Smith, testifying Thursday before the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee, was unequivocal about who caused the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
"Our investigation revealed that Donald Trump is the person who caused Jan. 6, that it was foreseeable to him and that he sought to exploit the violence," Smith testified. "We followed the facts and we followed the law -- where that led us was to an indictment of an unprecedented criminal scheme to block the peaceful transfer of power."
Smith, who led investigations into Trump's alleged interference in the 2020 election and alleged mishandling of classified documents, is testifying publicly for first time about his probes.
Jack Smith testifies before House Judiciary Committee about his Trump probes Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges in both cases, before both cases were dropped following Trump's reelection due to the Justice Department's long-standing policy barring the prosecution of a sitting president.
The former special counsel said that partisan politics did not play a role in his decision to charge Trump in his two investigations.
"Some of the most powerful witnesses were witnesses who, in fact, were fellow Republicans who had voted for Donald Trump, who had campaigned for him and, who wanted him to win the election. These included state officials, people who worked on his campaign and advisors," Smith said of his election interference probe.
In seeking to challenge the results of the 2020 election, Trump was "looking for ways to stay in power," Smith testified.

Jack Smith was NEVER approved by Congress to wipe his own ass ... He is a demonic punk and can rot with his daddy the devil.
Projection example extraordinaire in the Alinsky tradition.
there is no known witness to his swearing in- and he doesn’t remember who administered the oath.
Well, Jack… My investigation has come to the conclusion that you are nothing but a lying, demonic, unelected and illegitimate DC swamp creature. See how that works?
So he was not ever approved by Congress yet Congress chose to humiliate him anyway.
EVERY SINGLE DAY we see Jan 6th in Minneapolis but hey thats (D)ifferent since its commies doing it
Smith’s wife produces hagiographic documentaries about Michelle Obama for Netflix. The man is a partisan actor.
Just so I am clear ... this 'his' is Jackie Harvard Smith?? NOBODY administered any oath to this demonic pulse... Ever wonder why Governor DUH Saintis of Harvard renowned was NOT spied upon by the Harvard Smith???
“””In seeking to challenge the results of the 2020 election, Trump was “looking for ways to stay in power,” Smith testified.”””
Trump is the first candidate in the history of our country to contest an election. Right, AlGore?
Let’s get the truth out there..... Have the Jan 6 whistleblowers testify!!
Anytime you hear these demonics say nobody is above the ‘law’ they are literally saying they are the ‘LAW”.
He was, is and always will be a shining example of a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance. Despite all the lawyer jokes I’ve heard (and told) through the years, all the lawyers that I’ve known have been honorable. Of course, now I realize that I had not met any Democrat lawyers.
did Trump cause all those feds to be there?
🔝🔝🔝
Give a known liar a chance to talk, and what do you expect him to do? He’s world class.
Good thoughts.
I know without the restraints of religious beliefs my anger at such evil people who flourish and harm the good would lead to actions by me about which I would be ashamed. The restraints are my moral “guardrails.”
The leftists have no such restraints and are enthusiastically doing as much evil in the world as they can.
He is not ignorant.
He is cunning.
One sick demonicRAT from TX referenced 4 police officers who he said feared for their safety on Jan. 6.
Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, churchgoers are traumatized by lunatic demonicRATS and ICE officers get no assistance from local poljce.
A demonicRAT from CA recounted the fear he and his fellow legislators felt on Jan. 6 while, in Minneapolis, churchgoers are confronted and yelled at by crazed lunatic demonicRATS.
DemonicRATS are assholes.
OK chief, show your evidence.
And God help you if you mischaracterize or have withheld esculpatory evidence.
