House Republicans Subpoena Jack Smith Over Prosecutions of Trump [View all]
Be careful what you wish for, orange piggy.
Lawmakers requested a closed-door interview with Mr. Smith, but the president quickly weighed in, calling for public testimony from the special counsel.
House Judiciary Committee Republicans on Wednesday subpoenaed Jack Smith, the special counsel who prosecuted President Trump, for a closed-door interview this month, but lawmakers were swiftly blindsided by Mr. Trump’s fiery demand that Mr. Smith face a public grilling.
“I’d rather see him testify publicly,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House after attacking Mr. Smith as a “thug” and “a sick man.”
In doing so, Mr. Trump, who has called for Mr. Smith’s imprisonment, upended the best-laid plans of Republican lawmakers to confront Mr. Smith and deny the disciplined former special counsel a televised platform to present his rationale for charging the president for trying to overturn the 2020 election and retain classified documents.
