House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan issues criminal referral against former special counsel Jack Smith for alleged perjury
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan issued a criminal referral against former special counsel Jack Smith on Wednesday for allegedly making "willfully and intentionally false statements" when testifying before Congress last December.
"The Committee on the Judiciary writes to refer strong evidence that appears to show Jack Smith, former Special Counsel, knowingly made false statements during his December 17, 2025 deposition," Jordan wrote in a letter sent to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Top Judiciary Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin slammed the GOP-led criminal referral — calling it "baseless" and "vindictive."
House committee urges DOJ to charge former Trump prosecutor Jack Smith
The Republican chair of the House Judiciary Committee encouraged the Justice Department to look into criminally charging Jack Smith, alleging the former special counsel who brought charges against President Trump lied to Congress — allegations the committee's top Democrat denied.
The criminal referral Wednesday from Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio stems from last year's revelation that investigators obtained several Republican lawmakers' phone records as part of a probe into Mr. Trump's actions after the 2020 election. In a deposition last year, Smith testified that his team didn't receive the contents of any phone calls or text messages since the records sought were "toll records," which only include details like the numbers a person called.
