Former special counsel Jack Smith has requested a public hearing before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on his investigations into President Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents and involvement in January 6.

Smith’s request follows an Oct. 14 letter from House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) in which Jordan demanded Smith schedule a testimony before the committee by Oct. 28. Jordan alleged that Smith conducted “partisan and politically motivated prosecutions” of Trump, referring to Smith’s special counsel investigations into Trump’s handling of classified documents and Trump’s role in the January 6 riots.
