NEW: Jim Jordan Investigates Jack Smith’s Superseding Indictment of Trump
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan is investigating Jack Smith’s superseding indictment of President Trump.

United States, explaining the parameters of presidential immunity and rebuking Special Counsel Jack Smith for violating this Constitutional principle in his political prosecution of President Donald J.

“In doing so, however, Special Counsel Smith appears to have violated longstanding Department policy intended to protect our democratic processes.
