Former Special Counsel Jack Smith has officially been subpoenaed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee.
This means Smith, who led the prosecution of President Trump in the classified documents case, will be compelled to appear for a closed-door deposition.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote in a letter to Smith: “Due to your service as Special Counsel, the Committee believes that you possess information that is vital to its oversight of this matter.”
Smith had previously offered to testify publicly. His attorney, Peter Koski, issued a statement to Fox News Digital saying: “We are disappointed that offer was rejected, and that the American people will be denied the opportunity to hear directly from Jack on these topics.”
