What led to Jack Smith being subpoenaed?
Former special counsel Jack Smith gets subpoenaed. A California man is arrested for a self-styled terror attack. And Sabrina Carpenter blasts ICE for using her song to push deportations. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Wednesday, December 3rd, and this is Evening Wire. Former special counsel Jack Smith has been subpoenaed by the House Judiciary Committee.
What happened during the Tennessee District 7 special election?
Republicans say Smith's election-related probe into Donald Trump swept up lawmakers, GOP groups, and media outlets, and now they want him to answer for it. Smith, who brought two criminal cases against the president, had offered to testify publicly. His attorney, however, says Chairman Jim Jordan rejected that offer, denying Americans the chance to hear from Smith directly.
How did Sabrina Carpenter respond to the use of her song by ICE?
But Jordan says a deposition will build a more complete record of Smith's actions as special counsel. The AOC of Tennessee, Afton Bain, failed to flip Tennessee's District 7 blue last night, and now both parties are crunching the numbers. Democrats surged money and resources into the race, hoping to capitalize on typically low Republican turnout in special elections. While Trump carried the district by more than 20 points in 2024, the margin last night ended up at about nine points.
What are the details of the new Trump Accounts program for children?
District 7 includes 14 counties in the Nashville area, all of which moved leftward, but not enough for Bain to pull out the upset. Here's Bain last night.
And this campaign was rooted in something that's deeper than politics. We ran on an idea that government should work for working people. We ran on the belief that our story in Tennessee is bigger than the cynicism that has held this state hostage for decades.
Republican Matt Van Epps ended up still winning 13 of the 14 counties, most of them handily. He celebrated the win last night. I am humbled beyond belief to stand before you tonight as your next representative. Thank you. To those who didn't support us in this election, I still work for you. I'll work hard to serve you with honesty and integrity every day. This campaign has never been about one person. It's about we, the people. I've heard your stories, and I will be your fighter. President Trump is highlighting a new multi-billion dollar program called Trump Accounts included in the big, beautiful bill. Daily Wire political reporter Cameron Arkin reports. The program sets up investment accounts with $1,000 for babies born between January 1st, 2025 and December 31st, 2028.
What are the implications of the DOJ suing six blue states?
The accounts are vested in low cost index funds and can't be touched until the child turns 18. Relatives can also contribute up to 5K annually. The investment would vest over the child's early life, creating a nest egg for use as an adult. Private donors have also made it possible for children aged 10 and under to receive funds. Michael and Susan Della pledged $6.25 billion from their personal fortune to give each child an additional 250, though some exclusions apply for children living in high-income zip codes. The president is inviting other high-net-worth individuals to contribute as well. Parents need to fill out an IRS Form 4547 to enroll their child. President Trump confirmed that the Pentagon's lethal strikes against narco-terrorists will soon move from the ocean to land.
During yesterday's cabinet meeting, the president issued an ominous warning to anyone trafficking drugs into the U.S.
We're going to start doing those strikes on land, too.
What legal victory did pro-life pregnancy centers achieve?
You know, the land is much easier, much easier. And we're going to start that very soon, too. Anybody that's doing that and selling it into our country is subject to attack, not just Venezuela.
Trump said the administration's efforts have already slashed drug trafficking through maritime routes by more than 90%, crediting naval strikes with saving, quote, hundreds of thousands of lives. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins just ratcheted up the administration's war on food stamp fraud and is squeezing states to get on board. In yesterday's cabinet meeting, Rollins said the program was flush with, quote, rampant fraud.
