House Republicans, led by Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Rep. Barry Loudermilk, have formally requested that Special Counsel Jack Smith preserve all records related to prosecutions of President-elect Donald Trump. This request comes amidst concerns that Smith's office might destroy relevant documents following Trump's recent electoral victory. The letter demands that Smith retain all communications between his office, the Department of Justice, and the White House, with a compliance deadline set for November 22, 2024. Jordan and Loudermilk assert that the Office of Special Counsel must remain accountable and transparent, and they threaten further investigation if records are not preserved. The request includes all existing and future records, encompassing electronic communications and metadata. Smith’s office has yet to publicly respond to these requests.
