Former special counsel Jack Smith appeared for a testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday as GOP lawmakers probed his efforts to interfere with President Trump’s 2024 election.
Merrick Garland, US Attorney General under Biden, appointed Jack Smith to investigate Trump in November 2022, just one day after Trump announced a 2024 White House bid.
In June 2023, Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate, which was protected by Secret Service agents.
In a separate case in Washington DC, Jack Smith indicted Trump on four counts: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
During Thursday’s hearing, Jack Smith said he could not remember who swore him in as special counsel.
It is required by law to be sworn in and take an oath of office.
GOP Rep. Lance Gooden grilled Jack Smith about this and suggested he was an illegitimate prosecutor.
In November 2022, Jack Smith was supposedly sworn in as special counsel.
However, 11 months later, Merrick Garland curiously administered a second oath.
Jack Smith repeatedly claimed he ‘couldn’t recall’ or ‘couldn’t remember’ executing an oath of office.
At one point, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan interjected, asking Jack Smith which oath of office counted.
Jack Smith did not give Chairman Jordan a straight answer.
