I am writing to demand an immediate and thorough investigation into former President Donald Trump's actions related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents. The recently released 255-page transcript of former special counsel Jack Smith's December 31, 2025 deposition provides compelling evidence that warrants urgent congressional action. Smith's eight hours of testimony reveal that his team developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump broke the law during his first term by withholding classified documents and obstructing efforts to recover them. This is not political speculation. Smith explicitly stated that the basis for charges against Trump rests entirely with Trump's actions, not political motivation. He emphasized: "I would never take orders from a political leader to hamper another person in an election. That's not who I am." The evidence Smith presented demonstrates a pattern of criminal conduct that threatens the foundation of our democratic system. When a former president attempts to overturn an election and obstructs justice by withholding classified documents, these actions constitute a conspiracy against the American people and potentially meet the threshold for treason. Career prosecutors and FBI agents risked their careers to investigate these crimes, and they deserve congressional support, not abandonment. I am not making a request. I am demanding that you immediately initiate a comprehensive investigation into Trump's conduct as detailed in Smith's testimony. This investigation must examine the full scope of his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his obstruction of justice regarding classified documents. The evidence is documented, the witnesses are available, and the American people deserve accountability. Your constituents are watching how you respond to clear evidence of criminal conduct by a former president. I expect you to act with the urgency this situation demands and uphold your oath to protect the Constitution.
