Jack Smith defends investigations into Trump during tense US Senate hearing
Former US special counsel rejects claims that his probes improperly targeted Republicans and conservative groups.
What the coverage shows
All six outlets center on Jack Smith’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and NBC News, CBS News, Reuters and Al Jazeera all frame it as a hearing where he defended his Trump investigations. The Washington Post adds that Smith said he would not be “silenced,” a detail not present in the other extracts. The Independent stands out for foregrounding a Republican senator’s failed conspiracy claim and the use of the insult “dirtbag,” while NBC and CBS emphasize the hearing’s contentious tone.
