(CNN) — Jack Smith is “not afraid” of Donald Trump, whom he unsuccessfully tried to take to trial during the 2024 campaign, his legal team told CNN Wednesday.

The former special counsel has spoken to the House Judiciary Committee before, in private, but on Thursday the cameras will be on, and his team is prepared for members of congress to engage in the political theater that comes with that. Long speeches, they said, are expected.

Smith’s role — in which he brought two criminal indictments against a president — was unprecedented. His public testimony is expected to be major and flashy moment, as Trump has repeatedly called for Smith to be criminally prosecuted. Smith will have to walk a tightrope to avoid violating court secrecy rules around the cases and providing Congress fulsome answers that are likely to be closely scrutinized for accuracy.

Smith’s December 17 testimony before the House Judiciary Committee lasted more than eight hours. Lawmakers grilled him over the two criminal investigations into Trump, one probing the mishandling and retention of classified documents and a second inquiry into his role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election.

Both cases Trump faced from the Smith special counsel probe are now dismissed. One ended because Trump won the 2024 presidential election, and the other was dismissed by a Trump-appointed judge who believed Smith’s office wasn’t properly backed by Congress. That judge, Aileen Cannon in South Florida’s federal court, has kept half of Smith’s final report under seal, essentially blocking Smith’s ability to discuss in detail what his investigation found regarding the allegations that Trump unlawfully kept boxes of classified documents in unsecured room at Mar-a-Lago beginning in 2020.

While news outlets including CNN have revealed much about that investigation — such as the audio recording of Trump discussing keeping a classified record in a meeting with staff, and what a key witness who worked for Trump’s Florida resort saw and told Smith’s team — Smith is likely to decline to describe much more than what was specified in the June 2023 ind

(CNN) — It’s time to celebrate the best of the worst in movies.

Two remakes top the list of the 46th Annual Golden Raspberry nominations, known as the Razzies, announced on Wednesday.

“War of the Worlds,” which like the 2005 film of the same name starring Tom Cruise is based on H. G. Wells’s 1898 novel “The War of the Worlds,” racked up 6 nominations.

Ice Cube was nominated in the worst actor category for his performance as William Radford, a Department of Homeland Security officer who reckons with a potentially apocalyptic alien invasion.

Disney’s “Snow White,” a live-action remake of Disney’s 1937 animated film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” also nabbed 6 nominations. A worst supporting actor nod went to “All Seven Artificial Dwarfs” in the film.

The awards take a tongue in cheek approach to cinema by handing out awards for those films that are, shall we say, viewed as less than stellar. As is tradition, the “winners” are announced the day before the Academy Awards ceremony.
