House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan refers Jack Smith to DOJ over alleged false statement

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan referred former Special Counsel Jack Smith to the Justice Department on Wednesday, alleging Smith made false statements during congressional testimony. Jordan claimed Smith's responses about access to members' privileged text messages were contradicted by new DOJ documents. The referral escalates House Republicans' scrutiny of Smith, who prosecuted President Trump, though the DOJ is not required to act on it.
