He 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. They continue on regular basis to take exception to things that he said or did or allegedly did, but will not bring him before this committee. I don't get it. (01:57–02:04)
