These reports highlighted Schmitt's claim that Smith lied about attending an NBA game in Atlanta. They also detailed how Senator Amy Klobuchar pointed out Schmitt's confusion between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Atlanta Hawks, with some reports quoting Klobuchar directly. Several left-rated outlets noted that conspiracy theories promoted by Republican officials suggest Smith colluded with Fani Willis to prosecute Trump. The Independent's full report noted the reaction of Republican Senator Katie Britt to Schmitt's gaffe. Raw Story and Alternet mentioned Sean Hannity deleting a post related to the exchange. Joe.My.God. and Above the Law used headlines that characterised Schmitt's actions as a significant error."],"centre":["All eight centre‑rated digests reported that Senator Eric Schmitt, a Republican from Missouri, questioned former special counsel Jack Smith during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing and appeared to confuse the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball team, then accused Smith of perjury.","KGAN’s digest led on the headline that Schmitt confused the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes. NBC Chicago’s digest noted the hearing was convened to examine Smith’s probe into former President Trump. Winnipeg Free Press’s digest added that the two teams are roughly 650 miles apart. Sportskeeda’s digest mentioned Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark in relation to the hearing.","My Mother Lode’s digest recorded that Schmitt repeatedly asked whether Smith had attended an Atlanta NBA game on the evening of 3 February 2024. WKMG’s digest repeated the mistaken‑team description. The Record’s digest specified the alleged game date. Medicine Hat News’s digest echoed the distance between the teams and the perjury accusation.","None of the centre‑rated digests mentioned any response from Jack Smith, any legal consequences, or any cost estimate related to the hearing. They also omitted broader political analysis beyond noting the probe into former President Trump."],"right":["MY Northwest led on Schmitt’s attempt to trip up former prosecutor Jack Smith, noting that Schmitt claimed Smith perjured himself after being pressed about attending an NBA game in Atlanta, and that Schmitt appeared to confuse teams playing roughly 650 miles apart. TMZ led on the same line of questioning, describing the episode as a ‘gotcha’ moment that back‑fired.","Neither digest provides a verbatim statement from Smith, nor does either specify the exact NBA contest or the precise time of the hearing.
