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

What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story as Jack Smith’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, but they differ on what they foreground. The New York Times emphasizes the broader clash over prosecutorial power in American politics, CNN says Smith faces a GOP-led hearing and, in its extract, highlights his expected defense of prosecuting Trump, and the Associated Press alone quotes the hearing’s stated focus on “abuse of authority” and “targeting of Republicans.”
