"Jack Smith Obtained Text Messages From 44 Members of Congress" #ELB
Records show Special Counsel Jack Smith's team accessed 54 Excel files containing lawmakers' text messages, bypassing the DOJ's Filter Team protocols.
- Newly declassified records reveal Special Counsel Jack Smith's team bypassed a 'Filter Team' to directly access text messages between Trump White House personnel and lawmakers from both parties, according to a Tuesday disclosure from the Justice Department.
- The 'Filter Team' was established to prevent the special counsel's office from accessing privileged documents or violating constitutional rights during investigations into Trump's efforts to reverse the 2020 election and his alleged hoarding of national security documents.
- Assistant Attorney General Patrick Davis confirmed in a letter Tuesday that Smith's team accessed 54 excel files containing text messages, contradicting Smith's explicit denial under oath last December that he reviewed communications from members of Congress.
- Senator Chuck Grassley received the records, which critics claim show the special counsel 'ran roughshod over the Constitution' by reviewing messages involving dozens of lawmakers, according to reports released Tuesday by the New York Post.
- Reports indicate Smith's team reviewed text messages from 44 Republican and Democratic members of Congress, raising concerns regarding potential violations of the Constitution's Speech and Debate Clause during the investigation.
