On Tuesday (September 29), former Special Counsel Jack Smith appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee to answer questions about his efforts to prosecute Donald Trump in connection with the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. One Republican senator tried and failed spectacularly to smear Smith and was ripped apart for it.
Eric Schmitt, the junior senator from Missouri, decided to set himself apart in attacking the former special counsel by alleging that he was in collusion with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Wills in going after Trump.
“Did you go to an NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and the Atlanta Hawks on February 3, 2024?”, Schmitt asked Smith, who looked at him puzzled before answering no.
