House Judiciary sends DOJ criminal referral concerning Jack Smith testimony
A six-page July 22, 2026 letter from Chairman Jim Jordan asks DOJ to investigate whether former Special Counsel Jack Smith violated 18 U.S.C. § 1001 in December 2025 deposition testimony. The referral contains committee allegations and legal arguments; it is not a charge, prosecution, conviction, or judicial finding. Smith's attorneys and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin dispute the referral.
