Former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith told lawmakers in a closed-door session Wednesday that his team of investigators had “developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that President Trump had conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Smith also said that his team had gathered “powerful evidence” that Trump broke the law by taking classified documents from his first term in office to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Smith’s investigation had led to two criminal indictments against Trump, which were shortly dropped by the Justice Department after he won the 2024 election.
