Former Special Counsel Jack Smith appeared on Capitol Hill on Wednesday for a closed-door testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
Republican lawmakers called Jack Smith to testify over his “partisan and politically motivated” Trump prosecutions.
Fox News congressional reporter Bill Melugin confronted Jack Smith as he arrived on Capitol Hill.
“Do you have any regrets about the way your prosecutions with the president were handled? What do you plan to tell the committee?” Bill Melugin asked Jack Smith.
Jack Smith ignored Bill Melugin and walked past other reporters.
“How about you respond, Jack!” someone shouted.

Jack Smith defended his inquisition in an opening statement to congressional investigators.
“The decision to bring charges against President Trump was mine, but the basis for those charges rests entirely with President Trump and his actions, as alleged in the indictments returned by grand juries in two different districts,” Jack Smith said.
Jack Smith was appointed as Special Counsel in 2022 by Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Trump just one day after Trump announced his 2024 bid for the White House.
Several months later, in August 2022, Biden sent machine-gun-toting federal agents to raid President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
In June 2023, Jack Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate, which was protected by Secret Service agents.
Trump was charged with 31 counts under the Espionage Act of willful retention of national defense information and six other process crimes stemming from his conversations with his lawyer.
In a separate case in Washington DC, Jack Smith indicted Trump on four counts: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
Last summer Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Jack Smith’s classified documents case based on unlawful appointment and funding of the special counsel.
Jack Smith’s DC case was dismissed after President Trump won the 2024 presidential election.
