  "account": "Former special counsel Jack Smith was captured on October 3 attending a music festival wearing a \"No Kings\" T-shirt. Smith, who led criminal cases against former President Donald Trump, drew attention last week as Senator Eric Schmitt's evidence against him failed. This weekend, he participated in the inaugural Power to the People festival in Maryland. The black shirt featured text about Bruce Springsteen's Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour and the phrase \"No Kings\" at the bottom. The festival, organized by Tom Morello, featured Springsteen, Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl, and Public Enemy. During the show, Grohl dedicated his performance of \"My Hero\" to Smith. This is an evolving story with further updates forthcoming.",
