Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) accused Republicans of "gaslighting" the American people with their investigation of former special counsel Jack Smith, which he characterized as a continuation of the "big lie" that President Trump was cheated out of winning the 2020 election. "What do the Republicans in control of Congress do with their closing statement before an election? They carry out the big lie. They persecute prosecutors. They do Trump's bidding. They choose Trump over truth, corruption and crimes over the constitution, and I've had enough of it," he said at a Judiciary Committee hearing. "This hearing is a farce. And I'm sorry for what you and your family are enduring as a result," he told Mr. Smith. #corybooker #gaslight #trump #2020election #jacksmith
