Rep. Matt Gaetz sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding information on special counsel Jack Smith after former President Trump was indicted.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R- Fla., sent a letter Tuesday to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding information on the office of special counsel Jack Smith, revealing that one of the prosecutors on his team investigating Trump for his alleged mishandling of classified documents previously contributed to President Biden's 2020 campaign and faced misconduct allegations in 2009.
Gaetz said it is"beyond debate" that such information should be available to the public, and that"this simple staff list cannot be withheld from Congress or the public on the basis of attenuated and entirely fantastic privacy concerns." "The 118th Congress has procedural tools in place to allow for targeted recission of funds from components or subcomponents of agencies that are not operating in the public interest," he added.Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia,she will introduce a measure to remove funding for Smith’s office and his investigation into Trump
Judicial Watch announced last week that it filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the DOJ to obtain records disclosing the names of the staffers working on Trump’s case.
Meanwhile, Jay Bratt, who is working on the Trump case in Smith’s office, according to reports, was recently accused of misconduct by an attorney representing one of Trump’s personal assistants, Walt Nauta, who was also indicted in the classified documents case. Demonstrators rally outside of the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. U.S. Courthouse ahead of former President Donald Trump’s arraignment in Miami, Florida on Tuesday, June 13, 2023."It's no surprise that the bogus indictment of President Trump is coming from far-left prosecutors Jack Smith and Karen Gilbert," Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump super PAC Make America Great Again Inc., told Fox News Digital.
