During a Senate hearing, Sen. Eric Schmitt mistakenly identified a University of Iowa basketball game as an NBA game between the Hawks and Warriors while criticizing special counsel Jack Smith.

During a Senate hearing, GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt accused special counsel Jack Smith of attending an NBA game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Golden State Warriors in Atlanta in early February 2024. At the time, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis revealed she had an affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. Smith clarified he did attend a University of Iowa Hawkeyes game, but it was in Maryland, which prompted Sen. Amy Klobuchar to say Schmitt was confusing two sports teams.
