Original: Jack Smith Defends Trump Charges as Senator’s Perjury Claim Falters
Special counsel Jack Smith is standing by the criminal charges brought against Donald Trump, while a US senator's accusation that Smith lied under oath has failed to gain traction.

Why now: The Trump federal prosecutions remain a focal point of US political debate, and fresh attacks on Jack Smith's credibility draw immediate attention.
