Jack Smith sat in stone-cold silence as Trump lawyers pleaded with him not to indict: book
"Smith waited until Lauro was done speaking and then, without commenting on what he just heard, he bid the Trump lawyers farewell.

The House Judiciary Committee may be inviting former special counsel Jack Smith to testify Thursday in an attempt to undercut the legitimacy of Smith and his investigation, or in the attempt to catch him in a lie. Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has framed the hearing as necessary oversight of the longtime prosecutor’s decision to charge President Donald Trump with a multitude of federal crimes in 2023.
