CNN anchor Nicolle Wallace roasted Republican lawmakers for muddying the waters of a legitimate testimonial session concerning President Donald Trumpo’s Jan. 6 insurrection attempt.

“Questions from lawmakers … ranged from the inquisitive to the ludicrous,” said Wallace. … [Former special prosecutor] Jack smith came into this hearing today as a political target for Republicans. They barely let him speak. At times, they interrupted him with absurd conspiracy theories and what-aboutism better suited for Fox News.”

But when Smith did get a chance to speak uninterrupted, Wallace said “he was crystal clear” in his testimony about how confident he was with his case and pushing back against conspiracy theories that the Biden justice system was weaponized against President Donald Trump.

At one point, Smith had to pushback at Rep. Ben Cline’s (R-Va.) claim that there could be no proof of Trump intimidating witnesses over the Jan. 6 attempted coup because intimidated witnesses “would fail to come forward.”

Smith replied that proof was prevalent, possibly from Republican witnesses who ignored Trump’s threats and approached the prosecutor’s office anyway. Smith added that the best source of much of the witness testimony for his investigation came from Republicans in correspondence with Trump in the days leading up to Trump’s insurrection attempt. After all, Trump was not approaching Democrats for help in overthrowing the election.

“We had extremely thorough evidence that his statements were having an effect on the proceedings that is not permitted in any court of law in the United States.”

“Don't you think it's a pretty low bar to clear if you're trying to silence a candidate for president?” Cline pressed. “I mean, if you can't identify a single witness who's intimidated then maybe you should reconsider the gag order.”

“Both courts upheld the orders, and it is not incumbent on a prosecutor to wait until someone gets killed before they move for an order to protect the proceedings,” Smith replied.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
