World 2 sources 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 11m ago

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee have formally urged the Department of Justice to investigate and potentially bring criminal charges against former special counsel Jack Smith. The request stems from allegations that Smith provided false information to Congress during his tenure overseeing two federal criminal investigations into President Donald Trump.

Jack Smith previously led the high-profile prosecutions of the former president, making him a frequent target of criticism from Trump on social media. The committee’s push for a federal inquiry marks a significant escalation in the ongoing political and legal conflict between congressional Republicans and the former special counsel.
