Jack Smith to testify before Senate Judiciary next week
Republicans plan to press him on subpoenas for lawmakers’ phone records and texts from 44 members of Congress, while Smith defends his Trump probes.
- On Tuesday, Jack Smith will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Sen. Chuck Grassley , at a hearing Republicans titled "Oversight of Jack Smith's Abuse of Authority and the Targeting of Republicans."
- Much of the GOP anger centers on phone toll records Smith subpoenaed for several Republican lawmakers. Rep. Jim Jordan referred Smith for prosecution, faulting him for not volunteering information during a closed-door deposition.
- Records show Smith's team obtained texts that 44 members of Congress sent to White House officials, including messages from Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey. Grassley's own records muddy the targeting claim.
- Legal analyst Michael Popok predicted the plan to grill Smith could backfire on Senate Republicans. Scott MacFarlane, MeidasTouch Washington bureau chief, warned senators on both sides may chase viral clips.
- "Jack Smith wants the scrutiny of the fishbowl because he doesn't want to be lied about," Popok said. He claimed polling shows a "vast majority of Americans think that Jack Smith is a hero.
