Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Former special counsel Jack Smith denied targeting President Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Dec. 17.
He firmly denied pursuing the dual prosecutions against Trump for political reasons, Axios reported.
"I entirely disagree with any characterization that our work was in any way meant to hamper him in the presidential election," Smith said.
The committee hearing was done behind closed doors, but House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan. R-Ohio, on Wednesday released the transcript and a video of the hearing that lasted for 8 hours and 21 minutes.
