The media's handling of Smith's assertions has been criticized as a failure to question the validity of the prosecution, with some commentators suggesting that the portrayal of Trump as guilty lacks substantive proof. Trump himself dismissed Smith's report, calling it a product of political bias and asserting his innocence.

Despite the contentious questioning, he remained focused on his mission, with predictions leaning towards his confirmation.
