Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), a representative for former President Donald Trump's campaign, said Sunday on NBC's “Meet the Press” that Special Counsel Jack Smith's new court filing is He called it “a tantrum by a deranged fanatic.”
Host Kristen Welker said: In this filing, Jack Smith claims that there were three witnesses, all forensic experts, who went to the dining room by the Oval Office, where they watched coverage of the Capitol attack unfold and, of course, used cellphones. He said he testified that he was tweeting on his phone. ”
She asked, “Senator, do you think Donald Trump showed leadership at the time the Capitol was being attacked?”
“My view of Jack Smith's actions was that this was a tantrum by a fanatical fanatic who was angry that he kept losing the Supreme Court over and over again throughout his career,” Cotton said. That's true.'' This is unverified, uncross-vetted hearsay from grand jury testimony, and as such is not normally disclosed publicly. He appeared in court. He asked for special permission and for release at least 30 days before the election. This is probably professional misconduct by Jack Smith and should be investigated. ”
