GOP senators attack ex-special counsel Smith at Senate hearing over Trump cases

Republican senators used a Senate Judiciary hearing to attack former special counsel Jack Smith, who led two federal cases against Donald Trump, leveling perjury accusations and other invective. The attacks appear to stem from a mix-up between the Atlanta Hawks and Iowa Hawkeyes, suggesting the perjury claim is weak. This reflects continued partisan polarization over Trump's prosecutions, but has no immediate market or policy impact.
