Jordan urges DOJ to prosecute former Jack Smith deputy

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Wednesday urged the Department of Justice to prosecute one of the former lead attorneys in special counsel Jack Smith's office.

Thomas Windham served on Smith's team during his investigation into Trump's alleged mishandling of classified information and his efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential election results.

"As a senior assistant to Special Counsel Jack Smith, Windom possesses unique, firsthand information about the work of that Office," Jordan wrote, according to Fox News. "Yet, despite being given express authorization by DOJ on two separate occasions, Windom declined to answer questions during his deposition about topics necessary and relevant to the Committee’s inquiry."

Windam previously sat for an interview with the committee, but pleaded the 5th Amendment when declining to answer several questions.
