Democratic narrative
Kushner’s appearance before the grand jury is going to do more than just determine how much Trump was pushing his false narrative about the election being stolen from him.

Smith and his connections are all blatantly anti-Trump, and there’s seemingly nothing he won’t do as part of this witch hunt to derail Trump’s attempt to return to the White House in 2024 – even grilling the former president's closest family members. Smith has a history of prosecuting elected officials and losing, and this is just the latest saga in his political vengeance.
