Jordan Refers Windom for Obstruction Probe

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan refers former senior assistant special counsel Thomas Windom to the Justice Department for potential criminal prosecution. Windom allegedly obstructed a congressional inquiry by refusing to answer questions during a deposition, hindering the committees oversight of Special Counsel Jack Smiths office. Despite DOJ authorizing Windom to provide unrestricted testimony, he declined to answer nearly every question, asserting blanket and frivolous Fifth Amendment objections. Jordan believes theres enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider charging Windom under the federal obstruction statute, highlighting ongoing tensions between congressional oversight and the executive branch.
