BREAKING:Former special counsel Jack Smith is asking House Republicans to publicly release the full video of his closed-door deposition, saying Americans should hear his testimony firsthand.
In a Dec. 18 letter to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, Smith’s lawyers wrote that releasing the tape would prevent “second-hand accounts” of his remarks.
Smith also renewed his request for an open hearing, saying he followed Justice Department policy and “stands by his decisions.”
During the more than nine-hour deposition, Smith defended charging then-former President Donald Trump over efforts to overturn the 2020 election, saying investigators found “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” of a criminal scheme.
He also claimed Trump willfully retained classified documents after leaving office and repeatedly tried to obstruct justice.
**Closed-Door No More? Smith Pushes to Reveal Trump Deposition Footage**
**Washington, D.C.** — Former special counsel Jack Smith is urging House Republicans to release the full video of his closed-door deposition, arguing that Americans deserve to hear his testimony firsthand.
In a December 18 letter to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, Smith’s legal team said releasing the tape would prevent “second-hand accounts” of his remarks from shaping public perception. The move underscores the ongoing tension between congressional secrecy and transparency on highly sensitive investigations.
Smith also reiterated his call for an open hearing, emphasizing that he followed Justice Department policy throughout his investigation and “stands by his decisions.”
During the marathon deposition, which lasted more than nine hours, Smith defended his decision to charge former President Donald Trump over attempts to overturn the 2020 election. He told lawmakers that investigators uncovered “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” of a criminal scheme.
Smith further alleged that Trump willfully retained classified documents after leaving office and made repeated attempts to obstruct justice, allegations central to ongoing legal scrutiny.
By pushing to make the deposition public, Smith is amplifying calls for transparency and giving Americans the chance to hear directly from the official who led two of the Justice Department’s most high-profile investigations into a former president.
