President Donald Trump reacted in a pair of posts on Truth Social Thursday after former Special Counsel Jack Smith appeared to testify before the House Judiciary Committee about the two prosecutions he launched against Trump during the Biden administration.
During the hearing, Democrats gushed over Smith, praising him for “doing his job” and prosecuting Trump, while Republicans grilled him over the political persecution against both Trump and other prominent Republicans, including his efforts to seize their private phone records.
Smith dodged many questions, while defiantly defending himself, insisting he has no regrets and did nothing wrong.
Trump, traveling home from Davos, Switzerland, wrote on Truth Social:
Deranged Jack Smith is being DECIMATED before Congress. It was over when they discussed his past failures and unfair prosecutions. He destroyed many lives under the guise of legitimacy.
Jack Smith is a deranged animal, who shouldn’t be allowed to practice Law. If he were a Republican, his license would be taken away from him, and far worse! Hopefully the Attorney General is looking at what he’s done, including some of the crooked and corrupt witnesses that he was attempting to use in his case against me.
The whole thing was a Democrat SCAM — A big price should be paid by them for what they have put our Country through!

Trump later added:
Based on his testimony today, there is no question that Deranged Jack Smith should be prosecuted for his actions. He destroyed the lives of many innocent people, which has been his history as a prosecutor. At a minimum, he committed large scale perjury!
