Republicans in the House of Representatives on Tuesday requested information from the Department of Justice regarding Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigations into former President Donald Trump, including details about FBI agents involved in the probes.
The letter is "an early show of how the powerful House Judiciary Committee plans to leverage a May report from special counsel John Durham detailing issues with the FBI's early work investigating Trump campaign ties to Russia," The Hill reports. Drafted by Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the note also marks the latest development in his GOP-led subcommittee's efforts to build a case that government agencies are targeting conservative lawmakers.
