.JudiciaryGOP Chairman Jim_Jordan is pressing Attorney General Merrick Garland on the FBI’s role in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into former President Donald Trump in the wake of special counsel John Durham’s report.
Rep. Jim Jordan , chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, pressed Garland in a letter on Friday about Durham’s findings related to the faulty origin of the Trump-Russia investigation and the “failings” of the FBI.
Smith’s special counsel investigation into Trump and his alleged mishandling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago is reportedly “wrapping up” as the Justice Department moves toward a possible indictment of the former president. A decadeslong DOJ veteran prosecutor, Smith had most recently been a prosecutor at The Hague, where he investigated war crimes in Kosovo.
Trump shared a May letter from his lawyers to Garland on Truth Social with the attorneys contending that “unlike President Biden, his son Hunter, and the Biden family, President Trump is being treated unfairly” as they asked for “a meeting at your earliest convenience to discuss the ongoing injustice that is being perpetrated by your Special Counsel.”
