House Republicans are pressing the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the White House to provide records of communications between special counsel Jack Smith’s office and President Joe Biden’s Executive Office, raising concerns about Mr. Smith’s “impartiality” in prosecuting former President Donald Trump.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) penned a pair of nearly identical letters to Attorney General Merrick Garland and White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, demanding records and raising questions about possible prosecutorial misconduct after it emerged that a member of Mr. Smith’s team met with a White House staffer several weeks before President Trump’s indictment.
