GOP senator wrongly accuses Jack Smith of perjury about attending an NBA game

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the senator’s failed attempt to pin a perjury problem on Jack Smith and present it as a misfire rather than a successful challenge. The New York Times frames the episode around Smith defending the Trump charges, while NBC News leans harder into the senator’s “gotcha” attempt and its public embarrassment. NBC alone foregrounds the Hawks/Hawkeyes mix-up in its headline and extract.
