House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan asked on Tuesday that the Department of Justice and White House chief of staff provide records of interactions between special counsel Jack Smith's office and President Joe Biden's executive office, citing concerns about Smith's"impartiality."
Jordan wrote in letters obtained by the Washington Examiner to Attorney General Merrick Garland and White House chief of staff Jeff Zients that his requests were prompted by recent news that Jay Bratt, one of Smith's top deputies, visited the White House earlier this year.
"This new information raises serious concerns regarding the potential for a coordinated effort between the Department and the White House to investigate and prosecute President Biden’s political opponents," Jordan wrote to both Garland and Zients. Visitor logs show Bratt met with Caroline Saba, a deputy chief of staff in the White House counsel's office, and Danielle Ray, an FBI special agent, the New York Post reported, noting that the special counsel's office responded to the outlet that the meeting was a"case-related interview."Asked about Jordan's inquiry, Peter Carr, a spokesman for Smith, said his office would decline to comment on case-related interviews.
