JUST IN:30 minutes ago, tension surged on Capitol Hill after special counsel Jack Smith formally demanded that Rep. Jim Jordan release the full video of his eight-hour, closed-door testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
Tension escalated on Capitol Hill earlier today after reports emerged that Special Counsel Jack Smith has formally requested Rep. Jim Jordan to release the full video recording of his eight-hour, closed-door testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. The request, made public roughly 30 minutes ago, has sparked immediate political and legal debate, given the sensitive nature of the testimony and its potential relevance to ongoing federal investigations.
Sources familiar with the matter say the special counsel is seeking the unedited footage to clarify discrepancies between witness accounts and previously released excerpts or summaries of the session. Rep. Jordan, a senior Republican and a prominent figure in congressional oversight matters, testified behind closed doors as part of an internal committee inquiry, with the recording remaining under House control.
The demand has already drawn sharp reactions from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. Supporters of the request argue that transparency is essential where testimony may intersect with federal investigative interests, while critics warn that releasing the video could undermine congressional privilege and set a precedent for executive intrusion into legislative proceedings. As of now, Rep. Jordan’s office has not issued a formal response, and it remains unclear whether the House Judiciary Committee will comply with the request.
