House Judiciary Issues Criminal Referral Against Jack Smith Over Alleged Perjury The House Judiciary Committee has issued a criminal referral against former Special Counsel Jack Smith, accusing him of perjury in his testimony before Congress last December.
The referral claims that Smith's statements were "willfully and intentionally false," according to Chairman Jim Jordan. The timing and context of the referral have raised questions about its motivations.
The committee waited several weeks after Smith's deposition to send its letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, sparking speculation about whether the delay was deliberate or an oversight.
