The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed Jack Smith, the former special counsel who led two federal investigations against Donald Trump during the Biden administration.
Attorney General Merrick Garland named Smith special counsel in charge of multiple investigations involving Trump in July 2023.
The Justice Department has a longstanding policy of resisting political influence in investigations involving major political figures. Smith’s appointment came as Trump began campaigning for the presidency.
Committee Chair Jim Jordan has called on Smith to testify Dec. 17. The committee also requested that he produce subpoena-related documents by Dec. 12.
Smith is being ordered to testify after Republicans accused Smith of surveilling eight Republican senators as part of his investigation i
