Jack Smith Testifies as Senator's Perjury Accusation Falls Apart
Original: As Jack Smith Testifies, a Senator's Accusation of Perjury Falters https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/us/politics/jack-s
Jack Smith, the former special counsel who pursued cases against Donald Trump, is testifying before Congress, and an accusation of perjury made against him by a senator appears to have collapsed under scrutiny. The hearing has drawn attention because it marks a rare public appearance by Smith since leaving the Justice Department, with lawmakers clashing over whether his testimony contradicted the senator's claims.
Why now: Smith's congressional testimony is a high-profile moment in ongoing disputes over the Trump prosecutions.
