Jack Smith calls for House committee to release full videotape of his deposition
Jack Smith's legal team urged the House Judiciary Committee to release his full nine-hour testimony on investigations into Trump’s classified documents, obstruction, and election interference.
- On December 24, 2025, Former Special Counsel Jack Smith's lawyers asked House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jim Jordan to release the full videotape of Smith's nine-hour testimony.
- Smith's lawyers argued releasing the deposition would let the American people hear the facts directly and welcomed correcting mischaracterizations while requesting an open and public hearing.
- Regarding the investigations, Smith testified that the closed-door House Judiciary Committee testimony addressed investigations into classified documents, obstruction, and election-tampering concerning President Donald Trump, stating investigators had proof `beyond a reasonable doubt` that Trump `criminally` conspired to overturn the 2020 election.
- Rep. Dan Goldman urged Chair Jim Jordan to release the testimony, writing there is `no reason not to release the video and transcript` to prevent manipulation.
- Given Smith's role prosecuting President Donald Trump, the testimony matters because charges were filed but not pursued due to the DOJ longstanding policy against indicting a sitting president.
