Original: Jack Smith Defends Trump Charges as Senator’s Perjury Claim Falls Apart

The dispute centres on statements Smith made to Congress about the investigations into the president-elect, with the lawmaker's accusations losing credibility as facts of the case were re-examined. The clash underscores continuing political and legal friction over the federal prosecutions of Trump.
Why now: A senator's perjury accusation against Jack Smith is collapsing while he publicly defends the Trump charges, drawing fresh attention to the federal cases.
