Jordan Asks DOJ to Prosecute Jack Smith, Allying a Single 'No' Against 44 Lawmakers' Texts
The House Judiciary chair says the former special counsel lied to Congress about whether his team read the messages. Smith's lawyers say he was asked a narrower question and answered it.
Những gì chúng ta biết ban đầu
- Smith testified on December 17, 2025 that subpoenaed toll records did not include message content from members of Congress.
- Jordan sent the criminal referral on July 22, 2026, citing 18 U.S.C. § 1001.
- Fox News reports the Senate found Smith's team collected and read texts from members of Congress; the exact mechanism is disputed.
Khi đó còn bỏ ngỏ
- Whether DOJ has formally responded to the referral or confirmed receipt.
- The exact number of lawmakers whose texts were obtained, beyond the figure of 44 cited by the committee.
- Whether the deposition date is December 17, 2025 or January 22, 2026 — outlets disagree.
