Conservative legal group files FOIA request for Jack Smith’s communications

Special Counsel Jack Smith has spent the past several years investigating former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents as well as his actions following the 2020 election.

However, an organization founded by one of Trump’s aides is now looking into what it says is Smith’s “politically motivated investigation.”

Freedom of Information Act request filed for Smith’s communications

America First Legal was founded by former Trump White House adviser Stephen Miller, and it recently filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) with the Department of Justice (DOJ).

According to a press release it put out on Tuesday, the group is seeking “all government phone records of individuals working in Special Counsel Smith’s Office.”

The requested material includes “communications and calendar items” staff have compiled “throughout their investigation of President Trump.”
