What's the connection to Caitlin Clark? The embarrassing moment in Trump's prosecutor's hearing

During a Senate hearing, Republican Senator Eric Schmitt tried to link prosecutor Jack Smith to prosecutor Fani Willis by claiming they both watched the same basketball game in Atlanta. Smith denied this and clarified that he watched a University of Iowa women's basketball game featuring Caitlin Clark in Maryland. Schmitt only checked the men's game schedule.

During a Senate hearing, Republican Senator Eric Schmitt attempted to connect special prosecutor Jack Smith to district attorney Fani Willis by claiming they both watched the same Hawks basketball game in Atlanta. Smith denied the claim and clarified that he was not at the Hawks game, but rather watched a University of Iowa women's basketball game, featuring star Caitlin Clark, held in the Washington area. According to a CNN report, Schmitt only checked the men's league schedule for that day and forgot to consider that Smith might be a women's basketball fan. Schmitt refused to apologize for the incident. At the end of his remarks, Smith addressed his decision to keep the orders for searching phone records confidential, emphasizing that the steps were taken due to a well-founded fear that Trump and his associates would try to disrupt the investigation, as they had done in the past.
