FIRST ON FOX:<\/strong> Former special counsel Jack Smith will testify in a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee<\/a> next week, giving Republican and Democratic lawmakers on the panel a chance to grill him on his prosecutions of President Donald Trump in a public setting.<\/p>\n

Smith will appear before the committee on Jan. 22, one month after he sat for a closed-door deposition with the committee and testified for eight hours about his special counsel work, a source familiar told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Smith had long said he wanted to speak to the committee publicly, and although Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, demanded the deposition, the chairman also said an open hearing was on the table.<\/p>\n

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM JACK SMITH’S TESTIMONY TO HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Smith investigated Trump and brought two indictments against him over the 2020 election and alleged retention of classified documents. Trump pleaded not guilty and aggressively fought the charges, and Smith dropped both cases when Trump won the 2024 election, citing a Department of Justice policy that discourages prosecuting sitting presidents.<\/p>\n

In a public hearing, House lawmakers will be able to question Smith in five-minute increments, whereas in the deposition, each party questioned Smith in one-hour sessions. Politico<\/a> first reported that Smith would appearing for a hearing sometime this month.<\/p>\n

Smith gave little new information during his initial meeting with the committee and defended his work.<\/p>\n

“I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump\u2019s political association, activities, beliefs, or candidacy in the 2024 presidential election,” Smith said, according to a transcript of the deposition. “We took actions based on what the facts, and the law required, the very lesson I learned early in my career as a prosecutor.”<\/p>\n

Smith said that he followed DOJ policy when his prosecutorial team made the controversial decision to subpoena numerous Republican senators’ and House members’ phone records. Smith noted that the subpoenas targeted a narrow set of data.<\/p>\n

“If Donald Trump had chosen to call a number of Democratic senators [to delay the election certification proceedings], we would have gotten toll records for Democratic senators. So responsibility for why these records, why we collected them, that’s \u2014 that lies with Donald Trump,” Smith said.<\/p>\n

Trump, who has long decried Smith as a “thug” and said he belongs in jail, has said he welcomes Smith’s at a public hearing.<\/p>\n

Asked about Smith’s appearance next week, a representative for Smith provided a statement from one of his lawyers, Lanny Breuer.<\/p>\n

“Jack has been clear for months he is ready and willing to answer questions in a public hearing about his investigations into President Trump\u2019s alleged unlawful efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his mishandling of classified documents,” Breuer said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
