JUST IN: 5 MINUTES AGO: The most important moment of Jack Smith’s deposition reveals Trump’s involvement in the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

“He was getting calls from people he trusts there, people he relies on to cause the riot, and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence of criminal intent in our case, and that is what I’m revealing to you.”

JACK SMITH also said:
“We had proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election, prevent the peaceful transfer of power, retain classified documents, and obstruct justice. I would charge an ex-president again, regardless of party.”

Watch all eight hours of Jack Smith’s closed-door deposition.

The latest details from Jack Smith’s deposition are enlightening, as they exposed Trump’s phone calls with rioters during the Capitol attack.
But that is not the only shocking part. After Jack Smith’s deposition, the rapid removal of the president following the midterms now appears inevitable.

In remarks attributed to a recent closed-door deposition, Special Counsel Jack Smith outlined what prosecutors describe as critical evidence regarding former President Donald Trump’s actions during the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. According to accounts of the testimony, Smith emphasized Trump’s conduct as the riot unfolded, focusing on his alleged communications and decisions during the hours when Congress was under siege.

Smith is said to have argued that Trump received calls from trusted allies who were present at or connected to events at the Capitol, yet declined to intervene promptly to stop the violence. Prosecutors view that inaction, they contend, as relevant to establishing criminal intent. Smith also reportedly reiterated the broader scope of the investigation, asserting that the evidence supported charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, obstruct the peaceful transfer of power, mishandle classified documents, and impede justice. He emphasized that prosecutorial decisions were made without regard to political party or office.

While details of the deposition remain largely sealed, sources familiar with the testimony say it addressed Trump’s phone activity and decision-making during the attack, issues that have long been central to ongoing legal and congressional inquiries. Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, calling the investigations politically motivated and disputing claims about his role on January 6.

Legal analysts caution that depositions are only one step in a complex process. Any potential consequences will depend on court rulings, jury findings, and the outcome of ongoing proceedings. For now, the deposition adds to a growing record that continues to shape the legal and political debate surrounding the events of January 6 and their aftermath.
