House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Wednesday criminally referred former special counsel Jack Smith to the Justice Department for prosecution.
In a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Chairman Jordan said Jack Smith’s testimony included “intentionally false statements designed to obstruct the Committee’s oversight.”
Fox News reported:
Former Biden special counsel Jack Smith could face potential criminal prosecution after Republicans accused the ex-prosecutor of misleading Congress about the scope of his investigation into President Donald Trump.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, issued a criminal referral of Smith on Wednesday, arguing newly released records contradict Smith’s testimony to his committee that he did not obtain or review lawmakers’ text messages during his multiple probes into President Donald Trump.
“All individuals have an obligation to comply with a duly authorized congressional inquiry. Mr. Smith, a former public servant, is no different,” Jordan wrote in a letter to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Wednesday. “Yet his testimony included intentionally false statements designed to obstruct the Committee’s oversight.”
“His conduct can only be understood as an effort to thwart the Committee’s inquiry by intentionally making false statements and representations before Congress,” Jordan continued, adding that the Justice Department should examine whether Smith’s actions warrant criminal charges.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley last Tuesday revealed that Jack Smith spied on 44 members of Congress and actually read their text messages.
It was previously reported that Jack Smith obtained “toll records” or ‘call logs’ of members of Congress.
In fact, Jack Smith said under oath that he did not read any text messages – but this is not true.
Jack Smith sat down for a deposition last December. Members of Congress asked him questions about his Arctic Frost investigation under oath.
Jack Smith lied under oath when asked if the records he requested included the contents of calls and texts.
“Did the records that you requested – the toll records from the members of Congress include the content of text messages?” the investigator asked.
“No,” Jack Smith said.

Todd Blanche suggested he will prosecute Jack Smith for lying under oath.
“Have you thought about investigating Jack Smith for perjury?” Senator Hawley asked Todd Blanche during last week’s confirmation hearing.
“We take testimony in front of this body very seriously. Yes,” Blanche said.
“Good. I think he absolutely should be investigated. I hope that you prosecute him,” Hawley said.
“Yes, Senator,” Blanche said.
