Judge Unaware of Targeting Congressmen in Election Probe
Former special counsel Jack Smith revealed in a December deposition transcript that judges approving secret subpoenas for phone records of Republican congressmen were unaware of the targets. Smith explained the subpoenas were part of the FBIs probe into 2020 election interference, with targets hidden under non-disclosure orders to avoid obstruction of justice. Lawmakers caught in the net are calling for the impeachment of Judge James Boasberg, who signed off on the requests. Unclassified FBI records show agents surveilled Pennsylvania GOP Representative Scott Perry before seizing his cellphone. Targeted senators could now claim up to $500,000 each under a provision in a bill signed by President Donald Trump.
