Jack Smith to defend Trump investigations to House Republicans
(NPR) Former special counsel Jack Smith has been itching to talk about his investigations into President Trump.
He'll get that chance on Thursday on Capitol Hill, with one big caveat: a part of Smith's report that focused on the president's mishandling of classified materials remains under wraps.
Smith's appearance before the House Judiciary Committee marks the first open testimony about his work. He presided over two federal criminal indictments of Trump. Neither of those cases reached a jury before Trump won the election and returned to the White House last year.
