https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/07/21/congress/jim-jordan-subpoena-doj-prosecutor-trump-thomas-windom-00466133House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan is calling a member of the team that prosecuted President Donald Trump to testify before his committee.
The Ohio Republican sent the subpoena to Thomas Windom, former senior assistant special counsel who worked under then-special counsel Jack Smith. Then-Attorney General Merrick Garland had appointed Smith to lead the Justice Department’s cases around Trump’s retention of classified documents and his role in efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election.
Windom previously sat with the House Judiciary panel on June 12 as part of Jordan’s probe into efforts under the previous administration to investigate Trump. According to a letter from Jordan, Windom declined to answer some questions without authorization from the Justice Department. Jordan countered that such authorization was not necessary.
