DOJ Urged to Release Secret Report on Trump Prosecutor

Democratic lawmakers are demanding the Justice Department make public a previously hidden report. The document is believed to concern Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is leading two criminal cases against former President Donald Trump. This push comes as Republican House members prepare to question a former official from Smith's team. The scheduled deposition is part of a GOP-led investigation into whether the Justice Department has been politically biased. The confidential report was completed by the Justice Department's internal watchdog. Its contents have not been disclosed, fueling speculation from both political parties. Democrats argue that transparency is necessary. Republicans state their investigation aims to ensure equal application of the law. The confrontation ensures continued political focus on the legal proceedings against the former president.
