Smith’s hearing comes after an eight-hour closed-door deposition with the Republican-led committee in December in which Smith spoke about his investigations into Donald Trump. Per NBC News, Smith had requested a public hearing before his December testimony, but Republicans refused.

The former Justice Department special counsel who twice indicted President Donald Trump will face tough questioning in a highly anticipated congressional hearing.

President Trump was speaking to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, early Wednesday morning, Jan. 21.

Mr. Trump, ultimately, walked back his threats in Davos, saying that an understanding had been reached with NATO to avoid a confrontation. Still, Mr. Zelensky criticized Europe’s response, which included sending a small contingent of troops to Greenland as a show of solidarity.
