Rep. Chip Roy CHALLENGES Jack Smith: Is There Any Limit to His Power?

A House hearing. A former special counsel under the microscope. And a congressman who says he was the last to know. Rep. Chip Roy tells Jack Smith that his phone toll records went to the Department of Justice in May 2022, and that he learned it only weeks ago, from an email. By then, he says, it was too late to object. Then Roy widens the lens: an election lawyer's phone records in 2023, more than 400 conservative groups and leaders he claims were targeted, and a 2024 ruling against Smith's appointment. One question hangs over the hearing: does a special counsel's power have any limit? Smith pushes back: Roy's records were subpoenaed before he became special counsel, and his court filings were proper. Commentary and analysis. Claims shown are attributed to the speakers.
