Rep. Jim Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, has demanded that the Justice Department prosecutors who oversaw Donald Trump's cases appear for questions. Politico reported Tuesday that Jordan requested Attorney General Pam Bondi help him out by ensuring one current and one former staffer speak to the committee. Both individuals worked for special counsel Jack Smith, whom Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed to oversee two federal cases involving Trump after his first term in office. “Their testimony is vital to our investigation into how the Biden-Harris Administration weaponized the Justice Department for political purposes and misused federal law-enforcement resources,” Jordan said in his letter.
