On Wednesday, December 31, 2025, the House Judiciary Committee released the video and a 255-page transcript of a closed-door deposition with former Special Counsel Jack Smith. The deposition, which took place on December 17, 2025, lasted approximately nine hours and focused on Smith’s investigations into President Donald Trump. Key points from the testimony include Smith’s view that his investigations found evidence beyond a reasonable doubt of Trump’s involvement in a “criminal scheme” related to the 2020 election and retention of classified documents, and his explanation that cases were dropped after Trump’s 2024 victory due to DOJ policy. Smith stated his actions were based on “what the facts and the law required” and were independent of Trump’s political status. Smith acknowledged that judges signing phone record subpoenas, which included those of GOP lawmakers, were not explicitly told whose records were being seized. He also expressed being “saddened and angered” by what he saw as Trump’s attempts to retaliate against those involved in the cases. The release followed a request from Smith’s attorneys for transparency. Smith had offered to testify in an open hearing, but the GOP-led committee insisted on a closed-door session as part of their inquiry into the “weaponization” of the justice system. The full transcript is available through the House Judiciary Committee’s website or linked PDF files from news outlets like The Hill.
