Republicans Demand Special Counsel Retain All Records Related to Trump Cases
Epoch Times ^ | 11/8/2024 | Jack Phillips

Posted on 11/08/2024 1:39:14 PM PST by T Ruth

House Republicans on Friday demanded in a letter that special counsel Jack Smith preserve his records in relation to his prosecutions of President-elect Donald Trump.

They have requested documents and messages relating to meetings between the FBI and officials within the Department of Justice (DOJ) with Smith’s office before a search warrant was executed at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in 2023; documents or communications relating to the hiring of staff; and all documents and communications between his office, the attorney general’s office, and the deputy attorney general’s office.

“With President Trump’s decisive victory this week, we are concerned that the Office of Special Counsel may attempt to purge relevant records, communications, and documents responsive to our numerous requests for information,” House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said in the letter to Smith’s office.

Jordan’s office gave Smith’s team a deadline of Nov. 24 to comply with the request.

The letter, the Republicans said, serves as a “formal request to preserve all existing and future records and materials related” to Smith’s cases against Trump and as “an instruction to take all reasonable steps to prevent the destruction or alteration” of records and communications.

Smith’s office has not publicly responded to the Republicans’ letter. The Epoch Times contacted the DOJ and Smith’s team for comment on Friday but didn’t receive a reply by publication time.

Oh yeah ... after all a ‘strongly worded letter’ will not buy a cup of coffee unless $1 is attached.

Agree with the comments above ... anything incriminating is now ashes. And you can bet that trash-can fires in the Just-Us dept will be the new normal for the next two months.
