Jack Smith testifies in tense House hearing about Trump investigations  US politics live
"In his opening remarks today, House judiciary committee chair Jim Jordan slammed Jack Smith and his two failed investigations into the president. It was always about politics and to get president Trump. They were willing to do just about anything, Jordan said. He maintained that the probes into the president were part of a scheme to prevent Trump's re-election. Jordan repeated the ruling by judge Aileen Cannon who dismissed the classified documents case saying Smith's appointment was unconstitutional."
"While speaking in Toledo, Ohio, vice-president JD Vance slammed the ongoing demonstrations against federal immigration agents in Minneapolis (where he's due to visit later today). If you want to turn down the chaos in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement and accept that we have to have a border in this country. It's not that hard, he said during his Thursday remarks at a shipping facility."
Jim Jordan accused Jack Smith of conducting two failed, politically motivated investigations aimed at defeating Donald Trump and invoked Judge Aileen Cannon's dismissal of the classified documents case as evidence that Smith's appointment was unconstitutional. Jordan blamed perceived weaponization by figures like Jim Comey, Alvin Bragg, Bonnie Willis, and Jack Smith and said voters saw through those efforts by electing Trump twice. Vice-President JD Vance condemned Minneapolis demonstrations against federal immigration agents, urged support for immigration enforcement and voting over street protests, and called assaults on federal law enforcement "cowardly bullshit." The House committee recessed for a floor vote on DHS funding.
