US EditionTrump calls for Jack Smith, others to be prosecuted over Jan. 6 probe
- On Friday, President Donald Trump urged prosecution of Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, Jack Smith and Lisa Monaco in a Truth Social post naming them over a 2020 election probe.
- Earlier this month, the Senate Judiciary Committee revealed the FBI obtained phone data from January 4 through January 7, 2021, for about eight GOP senators and one GOP representative as part of Arctic Frost.
- Metadata showed call partners, timing and durations, not content, and the report cited toll records from two unindicted co-conspirators, one widely believed to be Rudy Giuliani.
- The move reflects Trump's pattern of urging prosecutions, as he has repeatedly targeted foes including James Comey and Letitia James, both indicted this month.
- Smith's attorneys defended the probe as `entirely lawful, proper and consistent with established Department of Justice policy` earlier this week, while a federal watchdog office opened an inquiry earlier this year.
