Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee have demanded that former special counsel Jack Smith testify before the panel, after reports indicated that Smith’s investigation obtained phone records of sitting Republican lawmakers, according to a Tuesday letter.
As a special counsel, Smith investigated President Donald Trump over allegations arising from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach and for the alleged mishandling of classified documents that were the subject of an FBI raid on the president’s Mar-a-Lago residence in mid-2022.
