(WND News Center)—Jack Smith, the Democrats’ hand-picked special prosecutor to run some of their failed major lawfare cases against President Donald Trump, used subpoenas liberally to access any and all information he wanted.
At least, that was before Trump was elected to his second term and the lawfare cases died.
In fact, Smith is facing criticism, and more, right now for orchestrating subpoenas for the telephone records of multiple Republican members of Congress, a move that leftist judge James Boasberg supported apparently without even knowing the facts, like who was being targeted.
That move may very well have violated the Constitution’s protection for congressional speech, under the speech or debate clause, and that’s bound to be fully investigated in the coming weeks and months.
But now members of Congress, investigating just exactly what Smith did, have told him to prepare to testify.
A letter from U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the chief of the House Committee on the Judiciary, was terse.
“The Committee on the Judiciary is continuing to conduct oversight of the operations of the Office of Special Counsel you led—specifically, your team’s prosecutions of President Donald J. Trump and his co-defendants.1 Due to your service as Special Counsel, the Committee believes that you possess information that is vital to its oversight of this matter. Based upon communications with your counsel, we understand that you are available to testify at a deposition on December 17, 2025.
“Accordingly, please find enclosed a testimonial subpoena for a deposition at 10:00 a.m. on December 17, 2025 and a document subpoena for the requested materials to be produced to the Committee by December 12, 2025. Pursuant to Rule X of the House of Representatives, the Committee has jurisdiction to conduct oversight of the Justice Department to inform potential legislative reforms.2 Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter,” the letter said.
Smith was given the lawfare assignment by Democrats after their scheming to falsely tie Trump to Russia during his first campaign, and to undermine his presidency with failed impeachment agendas, proved fruitless.
