Watch Live: Jack Smith testifies on Trump probes at Senate hearing
Former special counsel Jack Smith is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of its investigation into his probes of President Trump.
The Hill
What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as Jack Smith’s Senate Judiciary Committee appearance over his Trump investigations, with Reuters, AP, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN and The Hill all emphasizing the hearing itself and Smith defending his decisions. Washington Post and NBC foreground Smith saying he will not be silenced or stand by his charges, while AP uniquely highlights the committee’s “abuse of authority” and “targeting of Republicans” framing in its live label. Newsweek is the only outlet in this set to single out Senator John Kennedy sparring with Smith.
