Dec. 3 (UPI) -- The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday subpoenaed former special counsel Jack Smith to have him testify during a closed-door hearing on Dec. 17.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wrote Smith on Wednesday to inform him of the subpoena as the committee investigates Smith's and the Biden administration's efforts to prosecute President Donald Trump.
Separate investigations were examining claims that Trump tried to interfere with the transfer of power following the 2020 election won by President Joe Biden and Trump's alleged possession of classified documents.
"Due to your service as special counsel, the committee believes that you possess information that is vital to oversight of this matter," Jordan said in the one-page letter that he addressed to Smith and that included the subpoena.
