Jack Smith, the special counsel investigating Donald Trump, testified before Congress that Trump was repeatedly informed by his own advisers, Republican officials, and Justice Department officials about the legitimacy of the 2020 election results in key states like Georgia and Pennsylvania. According to Will Saletan's analysis, Smith's testimony reveals evidence that could have shown a jury how Trump ignored this information and continued to spread false claims about election fraud despite knowing they were untrue. Additionally, Smith discussed Trump's efforts to pressure officials to overturn the election outcome and his failure to stop the violence during the January 6 attack on the Capitol. This testimony highlights the potential case against Trump that was not fully presented during his legal proceedings.
