Jim Jordan demands Jack Smith hand over Trump indictment documents: reporter
Three Republican lawmakers demanded Special Counsel Jack Smith hand over all documents linked to his indictments of former President Donald Trump, a Time Magazine reporter said Friday.
House Oversight Committee members James Comer (R-KY), Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) signed a letter demanding “all documents and and communications” between Smith’s office and Justice Department pertaining to Trump, according to staff writer Eric Cortellessa.
The lawmakers said they would use a “compulsory process” if Smith didn’t hand over the goods by Dec. 15, according to Cortellessa.

The documents requested include information about his ability to summon grand juries in Washington D.C. and Florida and grant immunity to witnesses, the Time reporter said.
Smith is the chief prosecutor behind two criminal indictments against Trump: one accusing the former president of election interference in Washington D.C. and another of illegally holding onto classified documents in Florida.
Trump has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
