Jack Smith defends his cases against Trump on Capitol Hill - The Washington Post

Smith said in his opening statements that prosecutors collected enough evidence against Trump during the Biden administration to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he unlawfully attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 election and that he unlawfully retained classified materials after he left office. 

"The decision to bring charges against President Trump was mine, but the basis for those charges rests entirely with President Trump and his actions, as alleged in the indictments returned by grand juries in two different districts," said Smith, according to portions of the opening statement obtained by The Washington Post.
