Aaron Parnas: “The House Judiciary Committee on December 31, 2025 released the full deposition transcript [255 pages] of former Special Counsel Jack Smith, offering the most detailed public account yet of Smith’s rationale for prosecuting Donald Trump and rebutting Republican claims that the investigations were politically motivated. Smith sought to testify publicly, but his request was denied by Republicans on the Judiciary Committee. Across [more than 8 hours of sworn testimony / YouTube – with large sections off the record], Smith mounted a detailed and unapologetic defense of his prosecutorial decisions, repeatedly underscoring that the charges were driven by evidence, not politics, and that he would have brought the same cases regardless of party affiliation. Jim Jordan tried to bury the Jack Smith deposition in a News Years Eve document (and video) dump.”
