The letter then proceeds to document the various meetings between Bratt and White House officials between 2021 and 2023.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Tuesday wrote to White House chief of staff Jeff Zients and Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding that the pair account for reports that a staffer in special counsel Jack Smith’s office repeatedly met with Biden White House officials.
Jordan contended that contact between the White House and the office of an officially independent prosecutor pursuing multiple cases against President Joe Biden’s chief political opponent had called the probe’s integrity into question. Smith has brought two cases against former President Donald Trump related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents and his efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential election results.
