杰克·史密斯（Jack Smith）的法律团队周三告诉美国有线电视新闻网（CNN），他“并不害怕”唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）——在2024年总统竞选期间，史密斯曾试图将特朗普告上法庭但未成功。
这位前特别检察官此前曾私下向众议院司法委员会作证，但周四将面对镜头，其团队表示，他们已准备好应对国会议员可能展开的带有政治色彩的质询，预计会有冗长的发言。
史密斯的角色——对一位总统提起两项刑事指控——前所未有。他的公开证词预计将成为重大而引人注目的时刻，因为特朗普多次呼吁对史密斯进行刑事起诉。史密斯必须在避免违反案件保密规定与向国会提供全面且可能被严格审查准确性的回答之间走钢丝。
史密斯在2023年12月17日向众议院司法委员会作证时持续了超过8小时。议员们质问了他对特朗普的两项刑事调查：一项调查特朗普处理和留存机密文件的不当行为，另一项调查他试图推翻2020年大选结果的行为。
特朗普在史密斯特别检察官办公室调查中面临的这两个案件目前均已被驳回。其中一个案件因特朗普赢得2024年总统大选而终止，另一个则被特朗普任命的法官驳回，该法官认为史密斯办公室未得到国会的充分支持。南佛罗里达州联邦法院的法官艾琳·坎农（Aileen Cannon）已将史密斯最终报告的一半内容封存，实质上阻止了他详细讨论调查发现的关于特朗普自2020年起在海湖庄园（Mar-a-Lago）将机密文件存放在无安全措施房间的指控。
尽管包括CNN在内的新闻媒体已披露了该调查的诸多细节——例如特朗普在与员工会议中讨论留存机密记录的录音，以及特朗普佛罗里达度假村一名关键证人向史密斯团队陈述的内容——但史密斯可能只会详细说明2023年6月对特朗普及其两名雇员的起诉书内容。
史密斯是一名职业检察官，曾在共和党和民主党的政府中任职。其团队表示，他将在证词中强调自己30年的工作经验，并表示若事实相同，他今天仍会起诉任何前总统。
与闭门作证时一样，预计他将再次解释为何认为调查结果已达到“排除合理怀疑”的刑事犯罪证据标准。
过去几个月，至少有三名来自史密斯特别检察官办公室的检察官已与议员进行了沟通，其中包括托马斯·温多姆（Thomas Windom）——他在法庭上领导了针对特朗普与2021年1月6日美国国会山骚乱相关的妨碍司法公正案件；杰伊·布拉特（Jay Bratt）——他领导了对特朗普在第一任期内处理机密记录及妨碍司法公正的起诉；以及史密斯办公室的副主任JP·库尼（JP Cooney）。
特别检察官团队中的核心检察官（包括温多姆、布拉特和史密斯）均已不再为司法部工作。
共和党人因温多姆在回答某些问题时的方式向司法部提出了刑事指控。布拉特在证词中拒绝回答问题，并援引第五修正案反对自证其罪。
史密斯的法律团队告诉CNN，他也可以选择行使第五修正案权利，尽管他们认为史密斯及其特别检察官办公室的工作并未违反任何法律。
但史密斯的团队表示，他欢迎此次机会，希望能在证词中详细说明自己在司法部的工作。

Jack Smith is ‘not afraid’ of Donald Trump, his legal team says ahead of Thursday testimony

[Jack Smith] is “not afraid” of Donald Trump, whom he unsuccessfully tried to take to trial during the 2024 campaign, his legal team told CNN Wednesday.
The former special counsel has spoken to the House Judiciary Committee before, in private, but on Thursday the cameras will be on, and his team is prepared for members of congress to engage in the political theater that comes with that. Long speeches, they said, are expected.
Smith’s role — in which he brought two criminal indictments against a president — was unprecedented. His public testimony is expected to be major and flashy moment, as Trump has repeatedly called for Smith to be criminally prosecuted. Smith will have to walk a tightrope to avoid violating court secrecy rules around the cases and providing Congress fulsome answers that are likely to be closely scrutinized for accuracy.
Smith’s [December 17 testimony] before the House Judiciary Committee lasted more than eight hours. Lawmakers grilled him over the two criminal investigations into Trump, one probing the mishandling and retention of classified documents and a second inquiry into his role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
Both cases Trump faced from the Smith special counsel probe are now dismissed. One ended because Trump won the 2024 presidential election, and the other was dismissed by a Trump-appointed judge who believed Smith’s office wasn’t properly backed by Congress. That judge, Aileen Cannon in South Florida’s federal court, has kept half of Smith’s final report under seal, essentially blocking Smith’s ability to discuss in detail what his investigation found regarding the allegations that Trump unlawfully kept boxes of classified documents in unsecured room at Mar-a-Lago beginning in 2020.
While news outlets including CNN have revealed much about that investigation — such as [the audio recording] of Trump discussing keeping a classified record in a meeting with staff, and what [a key witness] who worked for Trump’s Florida resort saw and told Smith’s team — Smith is likely to decline to describe much more than what was specified in the June 2023 indictment of Trump and two of his employees.
Smith, a career prosecutor who had worked in both Republican and Democratic administrations, will emphasize in his testimony his three decades of experience and that he’d prosecute any former presidents on the same facts today, according to his team.
As he did during the closed-door testimony, he is also expected to again explain why he believes the investigation bore proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in criminal activity.
At least three prosecutors from Smith’s special counsel’s office have spoken to lawmakers in the past few months. That includes Thomas Windom, who led in court the obstruction case against Trump related to the January 6, 2021 US Capitol riot; Jay Bratt, who led the prosecution of Trump over mishandling classified records and obstruction of justice following his first term in office; and JP Cooney, Smith’s deputy in the special counsel’s office.
The key prosecutors on the special counsel’s team — including Windom, Bratt and Smith — are no longer working for the Justice Department.
Republicans have made a criminal referral to the Justice Department on Windom over the way he answered some questions. And Bratt declined to answer questions in his deposition and instead asserted his Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination.
Smith had the option to take the 5th as well, his legal team told CNN, even though they believe he and the special counsel’s office violated no laws in their work.
But Smith is welcoming the opportunity to describe his work in the Justice Department, his team said.
