House Judiciary Committee demands ex-special counsel Jack Smith explain ‘partisan and politically motivated’ Trump probes
WASHINGTON — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed former special counsel Jack Smith for testimony and documents Tuesday, hoping to shed light on the August 2022 raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort and subsequent indictments against the commander in chief.
Jordan (R-Ohio) ripped into Smith’s “partisan and politically motivated prosecutions” of Trump and his co-defendants while noting that several of Smith’s deputies have relied on their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when asked to explain themselves.

Smith oversaw the Justice Department’s two prosecutions of Trump, one for hoarding national security documents and one for unlawfully attempting to remain in power following his 2020 election loss.
