Jordan accuses Smith of lying to Congress in criminal referral to DOJ

Jordan asked the Justice Department to investigate Smith after records showed investigators obtained Trump-era White House texts through a separate National Archives subpoena.

  • House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan recommended criminal charges against former Special Counsel Jack Smith, alleging he made false statements during congressional testimony.
  • Jordan's referral to the Justice Department centers on claims that Smith misrepresented his team's access to lawmakers' text messages during investigations related to President Trump. Smith's legal team disputes the allegations.
  • The criminal referral does not require the Justice Department to file charges but adds to ongoing Republican scrutiny of Smith's handling of the Trump investigations.
