House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan Calls For Criminal Referral of Jack Smith Over Alleged Lies

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan says the House is weighing a criminal referral of former Special Counsel Jack Smith for allegedly lying to Congress. Republicans are examining whether Smith should be referred to the Justice Department for potential prosecution. The development comes as Republicans investigate whether Smith lied under oath during his testimony before the Jan. 6 committee. Jordan's comments indicate a growing push for accountability against those who allegedly broke the law during the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.
