"MADDOW: You know, it was the Republicans who agreed to this hearing. They agreed that this should be in public and on television. And you know, it's possible they're only watching right-wing pro-Trump news, and so they haven't heard much about what Jack Smith actually did in his investigation. They may not know much about who he actually is and how he speaks."
"(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) REP. PRAMILA JAYAPAL (D-WA): Did your investigation find that Donald Trump attempted to manufacture fraudulent state slates of presidential electors in seven states that he lost? SMITH: Yes. JAYAPAL: Did he pressure state officials to ignore true vote counts in those states? SMITH: Yes. JAYAPAL: Did he spread lies and conspiracies to his followers to make them believe that the election had been illegally rigged against him? SMITH: Yes. JAYAPAL: Did he pressure DOJ official"
The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee held a public, televised hearing titled Oversight of the Office of Special Counsel Jack Smith that became heated. Republicans on the committee assailed Smith while Democrats defended him and pressed him to describe evidence. Democrats submitted exhibits into the record and repeatedly elicited Smith's confirmations about alleged conduct. Smith affirmed that the investigation found Trump attempted to manufacture fraudulent presidential electors in seven states, pressured state officials to ignore vote counts, and spread lies to followers. The hearing featured sustained partisan exchanges and highlighted detailed allegations regarding efforts to subvert the 2020 election.
