The Hill reports:
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Thursday asked special counsel Jack Smith to turn over information relating to attorney Stanley Woodward, who has represented numerous Mar-a-Lago employees in dealings with prosecutors.
Woodward is in the midst of a battle with the Justice Department as it seeks a so-called Garcia hearing to review potential conflicts as Woodward represents Walt Nauta, former President Trump’s co-defendant in the classified records case.
Earlier Thursday, Jordan was reprimanded by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) for interfering with ongoing investigations and prosecutions. “Your attempt to invoke congressional authority to intrude upon and interfere with an active criminal case in Georgia is flagrantly at odds with the Constitution,” she wrote.
NBC News reports:
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is demanding documents from the Justice Department after a lawyer representing a defendant in the Donald Trump classified documents case alleged that a key prosecutor tried to pressure him inappropriately.
The lawyer, Stanley Woodward, represents Walt Nauta, an aide to the former president and co-defendant who is charged alongside Trump with conspiring to obstruct the government’s efforts to reclaim classified documents.
In a letter sent Thursday to special counsel Jack Smith and first obtained by NBC News, Jordan cited reporting that Woodward felt that he was being pressured to cooperate with Smith’s office.
