Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Republican from Florida, wants to interrogate special prosecutor Jack Smith in-depth.
Gaetz, a fierce opponent of providing financial support for Smith, harshly condemned the former president Donald Trump’s indictment by Smith.
Investigator Smith has already charged former President Trump with improper management of classified information. He was formally charged with conspiracy on Thursday in connection with his intentions to rig the 2020 presidential election.
“House Republicans should immediately demand that Jack Smith present himself for a transcribed interview with the Judiciary Committee in the next 15 days.,” in a Newsmax interview that he uploaded to YouTube, Gaetz stated.
“If he does not do that, we should send a subpoena. If he ignores the subpoena, we should hold him in criminal contempt of the Congress, so that he is the first prosecutor in American history to prosecute a case while himself under criminal contempt,” Gaetz said.
Gaetz declared with assurance that he was prepared to challenge Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“If Merrick Garland doesn’t enforce that contempt, then we ought to impeach Merrick Garland,” he said.
“To showcase how political and indeed dirty this has all become, we can utilize congressional immunities to immunize President Trump, he said.
Gaetz highlighted passages in that “gives any committee or subcommittee of the Congress the power to subpoena a witness, bring them in, and partially immunize them.”

According to Gaetz, it is important to “stand up for Congress’s equities when it comes to election interference [and] when it comes to misuse of the DOJ.”
“This is all an effort to try to distract us from the very real crimes committed by Hunter and Joe Biden,” Gaetz said.
“It’s not a coincidence that Joe Biden is going to the beach now, but it is especially not a coincidence that, on the heels of their former business partner, Devon Archer, saying that Joe Biden was functionally the closer — the guy that gave the credibility to the Biden brand so they could engage in their international influence peddling — this indictment reads like a torturing of First Amendment-protected activity,” he said.
According to The Hill, Georgia’s Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene declared that she intended to use the Holman rule to block Smith if necessary.
The provision gives federal legislators the authority to target and cut back on particular line items, including individual wages.
