Jack Smith Did Not Conspire Against Donald Trump While Watching Steph Curry Score 60 Points In An Overtime Loss To The Hawks
Schmitt accused Jack Smith of lying about an Atlanta trip, but Smith denied attending and Democrats said the senator confused the Hawks with the Hawkeyes.
- On Tuesday, Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt questioned Special Counsel Jack Smith before the Senate Judiciary Committee, alleging Smith attended an Atlanta Hawks game in February 2024 to collude with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
- Schmitt attempted to link Smith's presence in Atlanta to Willis's admitted relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, presenting a poster purporting to show text messages as evidence of supposed coordination on Georgia's 2020 election charges.
- Smith clarified he attended a women's basketball game between the University of Maryland and the University of Iowa Hawkeyes, not an NBA game, prompting Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar to chastise Schmitt for confusing the teams.
- Klobuchar told Schmitt, "I think that people should have their facts straight before they accuse someone of being a 'dirtbag'." Commentators ridiculed the senator's failed attempt to trap the prosecutor during the public hearing.
- The incident occurred as Schmitt seeks higher national profile; reports suggest he is a top prospect for Vice President Vance's 2028 running mate, though critics argued the theatrics distracted from promised policy wins.
