Jack Smith calls Senate Republican’s bar complaint against him a ‘political stunt’
In its Inside Congress newsletter, Politico reports that Jack Smith, in a Nov. 3 letter to Tennessee bar officials, calls Sen. Bill Hagerty's complaint seeking to revoke his law license a "retaliatory political stunt," with his lawyers deeming it meritless and defending the secrecy order around GOP senators' phone records as protecting the Trump investigation. The newsletter also covers House Republican talks about disciplining rebellious members under new leader Jim Jordan, Sen. Ted Cruz's postponed AI-cybersecurity briefing amid scrutiny of Commerce official Jeffrey Kessler's Nvidia dealings, and Chris Van Hollen's challenge to Chuck Schumer for Senate Democratic leader.
