Jack Smith, the former special counsel who investigated Trump, has been subpoenaed by House Republicans for closed-door testimony regarding his prosecutions of the former president. The House Judiciary Committee has requested his testimony and documents related to several Trump-related cases, including the classified documents incident and the 2020 transfer of power. Smith is expected to testify privately in mid-December, with the deposition scheduled for December 17. This move follows a series of contentious inquiries by the GOP, which has rejected calls for public testimony, prompting criticism from Democrats and speculation about the implications for ongoing investigations into Trump.
