GOP senator's perjury trap for Jack Smith backfires
A Republican senator's attempt to catch former special counsel Jack Smith in a perjury trap during congressional testimony has backfired, according to CNN's coverage. The exchange instead drew attention to the senator's own line of questioning, turning the hearing into a political setback. The episode is fueling renewed debate over GOP investigations targeting Smith over his Trump prosecutions.
Why now: A high-profile Senate hearing moment involving Jack Smith went wrong for Republicans and is circulating widely.
