House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan issued a criminal referral against former special counsel Jack Smith on Wednesday for allegedly making «willfully and intentionally false statements» when testifying before Congress last December.
«The Committee on the Judiciary writes to refer strong evidence that appears to show Jack Smith, former Special Counsel, knowingly made false statements during his December 17, 2025 deposition,» Jordan wrote in a letter sent to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Lawyers for Smith did not immediately respond for comment.
Top Judiciary Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin slammed the GOP-led criminal referral — calling it «baseless» and «vindictive.»
