Rep. Johnson Questions Special Counsel Jack Smith on Trump Investigations and Jan 6

January 6th Insurrection and Website Claims

• ⚠️ The White House launched a taxpayer-funded website on the fifth anniversary of January 6th, attempting to rewrite history about the insurrection.
• 💡 The website claims the 2020 election was "stolen," a narrative that Mr. Smith's investigation found Donald Trump knew was false.
• ⚡ Evidence showed Trump privately acknowledged losing the election while publicly claiming it was stolen.
• 🔍 The site also alleges FBI entrapment, but the investigation revealed that Donald Trump caused January 6th and sought to exploit the violence.

Allegations Against Special Counsel Jack Smith

• 🎯 The website accuses Mr. Smith of being a "Biden prosecutor" who brought "weaponized charges" against Trump.
• 🚫 Mr. Smith vehemently denies this, stating he was not a Biden prosecutor and was not directed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to prosecute Trump due to political reasons.
• ⚖️ Accusations of "lawfare," "fabricated indictments," and "rigged show trials" are refuted by Mr. Smith, who states indictments were secured from grand juries and the team was prepared to prove its case.

Dismissed Indictments and Future Prosecutions

• ❓ Indictments related to an "unprecedented criminal scheme to block the peaceful transfer of power" were dismissed without prejudice.
• 🧐 This dismissal means the cases can be refiled and Trump can be prosecuted after leaving office, though Mr. Smith declined to speculate on future actions.

Rebutting Election Fraud Claims

• 📢 Several documents were offered for the record to counter the "stolen election" narrative:
  • A statement from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency confirming the November 3rd election was the most secure in American history.
  • Testimony from former FBI Director Chris Wray stating the FBI had not seen evidence of a coordinated national voter fraud effort.
  • An article citing Trump's former Attorney General Barr stating there was no widespread election fraud.
