JUST IN: Jack Smith Deposition Highlights Alleged Role of Trump in January 6
In newly revealed deposition testimony, Special Counsel Jack Smith described what he called a pivotal moment in the investigation into former President Donald Trump’s actions surrounding the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. According to Smith, evidence shows that Trump was receiving calls from trusted individuals who were present during the unfolding riot, yet he declined to intervene as lawmakers and police faced escalating violence. Smith characterized this refusal as significant, arguing it supports an inference of criminal intent tied to the events of that day.
Smith further stated that investigators had assembled what he described as proof “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump engaged in a coordinated effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. He also referenced evidence related to the retention of classified documents and alleged obstruction of justice. Emphasizing the independence of his office, Smith said his decisions were driven by evidence and law, not politics, adding that he would pursue charges against an ex-president “regardless of party.”
The former president has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and maintains that the prosecutions against him are politically motivated. His legal team has challenged the characterizations of his conduct and continues to contest the charges in court. The deposition excerpts underscore the stakes of the ongoing cases, which remain unresolved as they move through the judicial process.
