SAUL LOEB and MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty Images Former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith told the Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee that his investigative team had developed "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" that President Donald Trump had criminally conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, a claim rooted in the evidence his office gathered during a federal investigation. Smith's statement was made during a closed-door session with lawmakers on Wednesday, after being pressed about the high-profile investigations he conducted during the Biden administration. Multiple outlets were able to obtain parts of his opening statement to the committee, where he reportedly said that prosecutors amassed "powerful evidence" showing Trump unlawfully sought to prevent the lawful transfer of power after losing to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
