House Republican chairman refers Jack Smith’s former deputy to DOJ for prosecution

Jim Jordan accuses Thomas Windom of obstructing Congress by refusing to answer deposition questions despite DOJ authorization, prompting a criminal referral to the Justice Department.

  • House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan referred Thomas Windom, former aide to Jack Smith, to the Justice Department for possible prosecution due to alleged obstruction of a congressional investigation, stating that Windom avoided answering key questions during testimony.
  • Jordan claimed Windom provided shifting justifications for not answering questions about his work, thereby obstructing the committee's investigation.
  • Windom's lawyer argued that he cooperated in good faith and criticized the committee for lacking respect for federal obligations, suggesting a political motive behind the inquiry.
  • This is the second referral to the DOJ from Jordan's committee in two months, as they also sought to prosecute another individual for false statements to Congress.
