Former Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith has been subpoenaed to testify before the Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee in two weeks about his sweeping investigations into President Donald Trump’s actions.
The private deposition is to take place on Dec. 17 as part of an ongoing investigation the panel is conducting into the probes led by Smith, according to a letter sent by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan to Smith and his lawyers. Smith was appointed by the Biden administration and stepped down before Trump took office.
“Due to your service as special counsel, the committee believes that you possess information that is vital to its oversight of this matter,” Jordan wrote.
Smith’s lawyers didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
