Presidente del Comité Judicial exige investigación de Jack Smith

El representante republicano Jim Jordan solicitó al Departamento de Justicia que investigara al exfiscal especial Jack Smith por supuestos testimonios falsos ante el Congreso, en Washington, D. C. Jordan presentó una remisión criminal alegando que Smith había proporcionado información inexacta sobre registros del Congreso, según informó CBS News. Posteriormente, CNN informó que el Departamento de Justicia reconoció la remisión y comenzó a revisarla.

Los demócratas, entre ellos el representante Jamie Raskin, describieron la medida como infundada, según NPR. Los abogados de Smith, encabezados por Todd Blanche, describieron la solicitud como sin precedentes y sin fundamento, informó USA Today. La remisión provocó una división partidista, con los republicanos presionando por una investigación criminal mientras los demócratas y el equipo legal de Smith rechazaron la premisa. El Departamento de Justicia no ha anunciado cargos y la controversia se mantiene dentro de declaraciones congresionales y comentarios legales.
