Chuck Grassley: The Senator Investigating Jack Smith

Showing 7 Chuck Grassley videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, appears in this material primarily through his investigation into former Special Counsel Jack Smith's conduct during the Trump prosecutions. Grassley revealed that Smith's team secretly collected and reviewed text messages from more than 40 members of Congress, obtained through the National Archives, without what Grassley characterized as proper constitutional safeguards, and accused Smith of potential perjury after he testified under oath that his investigation hadn't collected message content. Grassley announced plans to bring Smith back for a public hearing over the discrepancy, describing the special counsel's conduct as running roughshod over the institution of Congress. Grassley's committee also oversaw FBI Director Kash Patel's Senate Judiciary testimony following Charlie Kirk's assassination, an annual oversight hearing scheduled before Kirk's death that inevitably expanded to cover the investigation, during which Patel praised state and local Utah law enforcement for the rapid capture of suspect Tyler Robinson. Separately, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche committed during confirmation testimony to transparency on ongoing investigations, including the Jeffrey Epstein case files, a commitment made in the same broader congressional oversight context as Grassley's push against Smith.
