House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan has referred former special counsel Jack Smith to the Justice Department for potential criminal prosecution, alleging he misled Congress about his team’s access to lawmakers’ text messages during the investigation into President Donald Trump.
The referral is based on records released by Sen. Chuck Grassley, which Republicans say show Smith’s team accessed text messages from dozens of members of Congress and Trump administration officials.
Jordan argues this contradicts Smith’s sworn testimony that neither he nor his team reviewed such messages.
Smith’s office has not publicly responded to the latest claims as of this report. The matter is now with the Justice Department for review.
This is a developing story with significant political implications.
