House Judiciary Committee Demands Jack Smith Preserve Records on President-elect Trump's Prosecutions

Nov 8, 2024, 05:14 PM

The House Judiciary Committee has instructed Special Counsel Jack Smith to preserve all records related to his investigations and prosecutions of President-elect Donald Trump. Representative Jim Jordan, along with Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk, emphasized the importance of retaining these materials as scrutiny of the Department of Justice (DOJ) continues. Jordan's demand comes amid concerns regarding the potential mishandling or destruction of evidence, with some commentators suggesting that there may be attempts to eliminate documents related to the ongoing probes. The call to preserve records reflects a broader investigation into the actions of the DOJ under the Biden administration regarding Trump.
