Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has formally referred former Special Counsel Jack Smith to the Department of Justice for possible criminal prosecution, alleging that Smith made false statements under oath to Congress about the scope of his investigation into President Donald Trump.

The referral follows the release of documents by Republican Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who says Smith
