House Judiciary chair Jim Jordan seeks unredacted DOJ memo on special counsel's Trump probes
CBSN
Washington — The Republican leader of the House Judiciary Committee is asking the Justice Department to turn over an unredacted copy of a memorandum laying out the scope of special counsel Jack Smith's investigations involving former President Donald Trump and information related to Smith's appointment to oversee the probes.
Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who chairs the Judiciary panel, requested the materials in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday and set a deadline of June 20 for the Justice Department to provide the committee with the memo and other documents "describing, listing, or delineating the authority and jurisdiction of the special counsel."
Garland announced last November that Smith would serve as special counsel to oversee the Justice Department's investigation into Trump's handling of sensitive government records and possible obstruction of the inquiry. The order issued by Garland appointing Smith also authorized the special counsel to examine efforts to interfere with the transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election and the certification of Electoral College votes held on Jan. 6, 2021.
