Ex-special counsel Smith defies Trump prosecution threats before senators
Original: Ex-special counsel Smith tells senators he won't 'be silenced' by Trump's threats of prosecution
Jack Smith, the former special counsel who led federal cases against Donald Trump, told senators he will not be silenced by the president's threats to prosecute him. His closed-door testimony marks a rare public defence by the ex-prosecutor, who has largely stayed silent since dropping the cases after Trump's 2024 election victory.
Why now: Smith's testimony comes amid Trump's threats to prosecute political opponents, including Smith himself.
