What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the clash between GOP figures and Trump, with Jack Smith part of that same political frame. CNN’s extract is broader, bundling the topic into a weekly roundup and specifically highlighting GOP senators, a “perjury trap” line, and other unrelated stories, while Ben Shapiro foregrounds Smith being “grilled on Capitol Hill” and adds several separate items in the same brief.
