As Trump neared the end of his Asia trip Wednesday, he posted a new rant about Smith's probe in which he attacked Smith as a criminal and referred to him and his team as thugs who belong in prison:"
"Smith, for his part, has responded to a Judiciary Committee by offering, through his attorneys, to testify in public.

Before Trump’s second term, Smith had led criminal cases over classified documents and January 6, but he dropped charges and resigned after the Supreme Court immunity ruling and Trump's 2024 election victory. Trump and aligned Republicans have pursued a campaign to scandalize Smith's probes and spread misleading claims about Operation Arctic Frost. Smith, through attorneys, offered to testify publicly before House and Senate Judiciary Committees.
