Republican fumbles Jack Smith conspiracy theory and calls Trump prosecutor ‘dirtbag’ in testy hearing

What the coverage shows

All seven outlets center Jack Smith’s Senate testimony and broadly frame it as a contentious defense of his Trump investigations. NBC News, CBS News, Fox News and Reuters use relatively neutral or straight-news wording, while The Independent foregrounds a Republican insult and a failed “conspiracy theory” claim, and the Washington Post highlights Smith saying he would not be silenced. Only Al Jazeera’s extract explicitly says he rejected claims that the probes improperly targeted Republicans and conservative groups.
