“We have received Chairman Jordan’s October 14, 2025, letter and are aware of Chairman Grassley’s interest in testimony from our client, Jack Smith. Given the many mischaracterizations of Mr Smith’s investigation into President Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents and role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Mr Smith respectfully requests the opportunity to testify in open hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.”

“During the investigation of President Trump, Mr Smith steadfastly adhered to established legal standards and Department of Justice guidelines, consistent with his approach throughout his career as a dedicated public servant. He is prepared to answer questions about the Special Counsel’s investigation and prosecution, but requires assurance from the Department of Justice that he will not be punished for doing so. To that end, Mr Smith needs guidance from the Department of Justice regarding federal grand jury secrecy requirements and authorization on the matters he may speak to regarding, among other things, Volume II of the Final Report of the Special Counsel, which is not publicly available. In addition, to provide full and accurate answers to your questions, Mr Smith requires access to the Special Counsel files, which he no longer has the ability to access. With the guidance and access described above, Mr Smith is available to testify in an open hearing at your earliest convenience,” write former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s lawyers in a letter to Old Man Grassley and spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan’s respective committees.

Watch those two dickheads short-circuit and start complaining that Smith’s trying to “create a media circus” or some horseshit excuse when the guy’s challenging them to man up for everyone to see.
