The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed former Special Counsel Jack Smith in December 2025, who previously led two federal prosecutions against Donald Trump. Committee Chairman Jim Jordan stated Smith possesses information vital to the committee's oversight of the indictments. The subpoena demands Smith's testimony and records related to his investigations into Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents. These cases were dropped after Trump's re-election in November 2024 due to Justice Department policy. Smith's lawyer expressed disappointment that the deposition would be closed-door, preventing the public from hearing directly from Smith.
