Jim Jordan Refers Jack Smith for DOJ Criminal Investigation, Alleges He Misled Congress
House investigators deposed Smith behind closed doors in December, and the former prosecutor testified in a public hearing in January. According to a letter from Jordan, an Ohio Republican, Smith “gave the impression” to lawmakers that his investigations into Trump from late 2022 through late 2024 did not include access to members’ text messages. Smith, a former public servant, is no different,” Jordan’s letter to Blanche says.
