<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump called for Jack Smith to be prosecuted after the former special counsel was grilled by lawmakers for hours about his decision to bring charges against the president in the lead-up to the 2024 election.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Smith faced questions on Thursday from the House Judiciary Committee about whether his investigations into Trump were politically motivated. Smith’s investigation included snooping through the president’s phone records and casting a wide net on Republican lawmakers and Trump allies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Based on his testimony today, there is no question that Deranged Jack Smith should be prosecuted for his actions,” Trump </span><a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115940718914667214"><span style="font-weight: 400;">posted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Truth Social. “He destroyed the lives of many innocent people, which has been his history as a prosecutor. At a minimum, he committed large scale perjury!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Smith led investigations into Trump related to the January 6 riot and the president’s handling of classified documents. As part of this investigation, the Biden administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-justice-department-took-unprecedented-action-against-trump-bondi-reveals?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Biden’s+Justice+Department+Took+‘Unprecedented+Action’+Against+Trump%2C+Bondi+Reveals">turned over</a> Trump’s government-issued phone to Smith. Smith also subpoenaed all of Trump’s personal phone records.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Earlier on Thursday, Trump said that Smith was a “deranged animal” who should no longer be allowed to practice law.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If he were a Republican, his license would be taken away from him, and far worse! Hopefully the Attorney General is looking at what he’s done, including some of the crooked and corrupt witnesses that he was attempting to use in his case against me. The whole thing was a Democrat SCAM — A big price should be paid by them for what they have put our Country through!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to the House Judiciary Committee, Smith </span><a href="https://x.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/2014330081619894394"><span style="font-weight: 400;">approved</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> toll record subpoenas for members of Congress “without regard for whether the private communications were constitutionally protected.” Toll records show the length and time of phone calls in addition to who is speaking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Smith chose to target President Trump, and only President Trump, in his electors case—setting aside other targets so that he could secure an indictment of President Trump in advance of the election,” the House Judiciary Committee said ahead of the hearing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Smith had four felony charges related to Trump’s actions following the 2020 election <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-persevered-against-all-odds-and-won-trump-celebrates-after-jack-smith-files-to-drop-charges?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=‘I+Persevered%2C+Against+All+Odds%2C+And+Won’%3A+Trump+Celebrates+After+Jack+Smith+Files+To+Drop+Charges">dropped</a> in the weeks after the 2024 election, when Trump soundly defeated former Vice President Kamala Harris.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It was a political hijacking, and a low point in the History of our Country that such a thing could have happened, and yet, I persevered, against all odds, and WON,” Trump said at the time as the charges were dropped. </span></p>
