The Spin

Republican narrative

Smith's prosecutions were a political weaponization designed to damage Trump's 2024 campaign. The rushed trial schedules, targeting key political moments like the Iowa caucuses, had no legal justification beyond the potential for election interference. These weren't standard prosecutorial decisions but partisan actions masquerading as law enforcement.

New York PostX

Democratic narrative

Smith's investigations followed established legal protocols and addressed clear violations of law, with both cases filed well over a year before the 2024 election. Continuing pending court cases doesn't typically violate the Hatch Act, and there is no evidence to support claims of political motivation. Accusations against him ignore facts and undermine the justice system.
