Representative Jim Jordan has referred Special Counsel Jack Smith to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution. The referral stems from allegations that Smith may have provided false statements to Congress during testimony regarding his investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
The dispute centers on whether Smith obtained records belonging to members of Congress during the course of his investigation. While Jordan contends that Smith misled lawmakers regarding these actions, lawyers representing the special counsel have denied the allegations. The Department of Justice will now determine how to proceed regarding the referral.
