In December 2025, Jack Smith testified to the House Oversight Committee behind closed doors, followed by public testimony in January 2026. In both settings he defended his investigations as non-partisan and necessary, saying “No one should be above the law in this country, and the law required that [Trump] be held to account. So that is what I did.” During the highly partisan 2026 hearing, Pres. Donald Trump took to Truth Social to say he hoped that Attorney General Pam Bondi was “looking into” Smith’s actions. For his part Smith said such posts are “meant to intimidate me. I will not be intimidated.”
