JACK SMITH: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in criminal activity" [View all]

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith went scorched-earth against Donald Trump and indicated he had no regrets in his first public testimony about his criminal investigation into the president.

“I want to be clear, I stand by my decisions as special counsel, including the decision to bring charges against President Trump. Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity,” Smith said in his opening statement.

He said that Trump “engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power.”
