Dick Durbin: “Jack Smith, who was the special counsel months ago, perhaps…”

“Glad that we're honoring him with this memorial today. Let me say at the outset that the chairman spent several minutes talking about Jack Smith. I want to make one thing clear about Jack Smith, who was the special counsel months ago, perhaps six months ago, maybe longer, volunteered to appear before this committee under oath. and testify about what he did as special counsel and to answer the questions of the committee. For reasons I cannot explain, the Republican majority does not want to bring Jack Smith before this committee and have him testify under oath.” (01:34–01:56)
