Judiciary Committee Demands Records From Jack Smith, May Expose Team

House Republicans are turning their attention to special counsel Jack Smith, demanding that his office preserve all documents related to investigations involving President Donald Trump. The House Judiciary Committee has suggested it might release the names of Smith’s prosecutors, with a spokesperson stating that “everything is on the table.”

In a letter to Smith, the committee warned against the destruction of records. The letter noted reports that Smith’s office had been preparing for Trump’s victory and raised concerns about potential efforts to erase evidence.

Lawmakers emphasized that Smith’s team is subject to oversight. “The Office of Special Counsel is not immune from transparency,” the letter said. Republicans included a detailed list of materials they expect Smith to produce.

Smith has pursued two cases against Trump, focusing on the 2020 election and alleged mishandling of classified documents. Both cases have drawn sharp criticism from conservatives, who argue the investigations are politically motivated.

Recent reports from CNN suggest Smith plans to continue his cases despite Trump’s reelection. Sources close to the special counsel described him as determined to keep the investigations alive, even in the face of opposition from a Republican administration.

On Friday, Smith requested a federal judge pause one of the cases. He cited the need for time to reassess his approach. Meanwhile, Republicans are pressing forward with their oversight efforts, framing their investigation as a matter of public accountability.
