A proposito di questo titolo

Former special counsel Jack Smith testified before Congress on January 22, 2026, forcefully defending his investigations into Donald Trump's role in the January 6 Capitol attack and the mishandling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.[1][3] Smith stated that evidence showed Trump "willfully broke the law," including engaging in a "criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power," and that he knew his election fraud claims were false while seeking ways to stay in power.[1][3] He emphasized Trump's illegal retention of classified documents and repeated obstruction attempts, insisting grand juries in two districts confirmed the charges beyond reasonable doubt.[1]

Republicans on the House panel grilled Smith on technicalities, accusing him of weaponizing the Justice Department against Trump and probing his investigative tactics.[2][3] The hearing grew tense, with Jan. 6 Capitol Police officer Michael Fanone confronting lawmakers and nearly clashing physically with a defendant advocate; Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers founder whose sentence Trump commuted, attended seeking "true transparency."[3] Democrats praised Smith as a sober public servant, while Rep. Joe Neguse called the proceedings "theater" to rewrite Jan. 6 history.[3]

Trump, traveling in Europe, reacted furiously on Truth Social, labeling Smith a "deranged animal" guilty of "large scale perjury" and urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate him and his mostly Republican witnesses, demanding they pay a "big price."[1][2][3] Smith anticipated this, telling lawmakers he expects Trump's Justice Department to pursue charges against him "because they have been ordered to by the president."[1][3] Trump also tied the clash to broader vows of revenge against perceived enemies.[1]

Listeners tuning in heard Smith warn that the rule of law is "not self-executing" and erodes without accountability, suggesting failure to hold Trump responsible risks future attacks.[3] While Trump's supporters view the probes as Democratic hoaxes, Smith's measured testimony puts the evidence on record amid Trump's return to power and open threats.[1] The exchange underscores deepening divides over Jan. 6 responsibility, with Trump positioning himself as avenger-in-chief.[2][3] (Word count: 348)
