Senate hearing sparks claims of a Willis–Jack Smith conspiracy
Shows discuss Senator Eric Schmidt’s Senate questioning of Jack Smith, which tried to connect Smith’s possible Atlanta visit with Fani Willis and an alleged conspiracy against Trump.[1][2][3]
On Breaking News from Pod Save America, Brian Tyler Cohen said the supposed Atlanta evidence came from confusing the Atlanta Hawks with Iowa’s Hawkeyes, while Smith denied being in Atlanta.[1][4]
Pod Save America argued that even an Atlanta visit would not establish that Smith met Willis or prove the allegation, with Jon Favreau asking what such a meeting would show.[5][6]
The Bulwark Daily likewise said the inference that Willis was at an Atlanta game and plotting with Smith against Trump had no evidentiary basis.[7]
Other shows described the episode as an attempted perjury trap or conspiracy theory involving Willis, Smith, and Nathan Wade, while reporting that Schmidt’s questioning did not produce the result he expected.[8][3][9]
