Chairman Jordan has denied Special Counsel Jack Smith\u2019s offer to speak publicly to the whole Congress and the whole country about his investigations into Donald Trump, instead demanding he comply with a subpoena for a closed-door, private session simply so Republicans can spin, distort, and cherry-pick his remarks through press leaks.

\u2014 Fresh off House Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio)\u2019s announcement that former special counsel Jack Smith would comply with a House subpoena, but that it would be handled behind closed doors, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) lashed out<\/a> at the lack of transparency. Jordan sought the testimony of the special counsel responsible for the prosecution of Donald Trump in October, accusing Smith of having \u201csought to silence President Trump by restricting his public statements about the case, conducted an unnecessary and abusive raid of his residence, attempted to improperly pressure defense counsel with the promise of political patronage, and manipulated key evidence in the investigation.\u201d Smith\u2019s legal team responded with the offer of a public hearing, \u201cGiven the many mischaracterizations of Mr. Smith\u2019s investigation into President Trump\u2019s alleged mishandling of classified documents and role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Mr. Smith respectfully requests the opportunity to testify in open hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees,\u201d but that level of openness is apparently a no-go for Republicans.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
