House Republicans Release 6 Jack Smith Transcripts, Allege Subpoenas Targeted 12-Plus GOP Lawmakers

Summary
Six newly released House Judiciary transcripts detail testimony from five former Jack Smith prosecutors and a former DOJ watchdog agent tied to the Arctic Frost investigation.
Committee Republicans say Smith's team improperly subpoenaed phone records from more than a dozen GOP lawmakers and won gag orders that kept those lawmakers from learning their records had been obtained.
Jim Jordan, the House Judiciary chairman, has already issued a criminal referral to the Justice Department against Smith, escalating the committee's scrutiny of the former special counsel.
The release adds fresh political and legal pressure to the long-running fight over Smith's Trump-related probe and the Biden-Harris Justice Department's investigative tactics.
