House Republicans on Friday demanded in a letter that special counsel Jack Smith preserve his records in relation to his prosecutions of President-elect Donald Trump.

They have requested documents and messages relating to meetings between the FBI and officials within the Department of Justice (DOJ) with Smith’s office before a search warrant was executed at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in 2023; documents or communications relating to the hiring of staff; and all documents and communications between his office, the attorney general’s office, and the deputy attorney general’s office.
