The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday released its transcript with former special counsel Jack Smith regarding his two cases against President Donald Trump as well as Justice Department efforts to subpoena the phone records of Republican lawmakers.

In the transcript and video, Smith told the Republican-led panel that he believed he had enough evidence to convict Trump on election interference charges that were brought in Washington and charges accusing Trump of illegally retaining classified materials in Florida before they were dropped after his reelection.
