""I believe they will do everything in their power to do that because they have been ordered to by the president," Smith said."
""I think the statements are meant to intimidate me," Smith said. "I will not be intimidated. I think these statements are also made as a warning to others - what will happen if they stand up.""
""We followed the facts and we followed the law and that process resulted in proof beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed serious crimes," he added. "I'm not going to pretend that didn't happen because he's threatening me.""
Hours into a public congressional hearing, Rep. Becca Balint asked whether the Justice Department would "find some way" to indict the president. Special counsel Jack Smith said he believed DOJ would try because they had been ordered to by the president. Smith said the statements attacking him are meant to intimidate and to warn others who might stand up, and he vowed not to be intimidated. Smith said investigators followed the facts and the law, producing proof beyond a reasonable doubt that serious crimes occurred. The White House pointed to the president's Truth Social posts; the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
