An investigation was opened this past August into whether former Special Counsel Jack Smith violated the Hatch Act during his investigation of President Donald Trump.
Smith found himself back in the news this month after two FBI agents who previously worked under the former special counsel were fired.Â

As Breitbart reported, Jordan sent a letter to Smith’s which explained that his “testimony is necessary to understand the full extent to which the Biden-Harris Justice Department weaponized federal law enforcement.”
“Among the disturbing tactics employed in that prosecution, your team sought to silence President Trump by restricting his public statements about the case, conducted an unnecessary and abusive raid of his residence, attempted to improperly pressure defense counsel with the promise of political patronage, and manipulated key evidence in the investigation,” the congressman alleged.
Jordan highlighted “several” former team members who refused to cooperate
Jordan went on to complain that “several members” of Smith’s special counsel team have refused to cooperate fully with the House Judiciary Committee.
They included former Senior Assistant Special Counsel Thomas Windom, who “refused to answer” when asked how many other members of Congress had been investigated.
Jordan also cited former Counselor to the Special Counsel Jay Bratt, who “invoked the Fifth Amendment approximately 75 times during his interview with the Committee.”
Jordan concluded by ordering Smith to schedule an interview “as soon as possible, but no later than 10:00 a.m. on October 28, 2025.”
