Jack Smith hearing upended by sports team mix-up
Former special counsel Jack Smith defended his past investigations into President Trump during a contentious four-hour Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday. During GOP questioning, Smith rejected accusations of partisan weaponization and maintained that his team followed proper Department of Justice procedures. The hearing's most dramatic moment quickly turned into a gaffe when Sen. Eric Schmitt leveled a perjury accusation against Smith, claiming the prosecutor had secretly met with Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis at an Atlanta Hawks basketball game. However, Schmitt's alleged "smoking gun" collapsed when it was revealed he confused the NBA's Atlanta Hawks with the college football team the University of Iowa Hawkeyes. Politico's Chris Marquette joins LiveNOW's Andy Mac to discuss.
