House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) this week sent a letter to Special Counsel Jack Smith after launching an inquiry into Jay Bratt, one of his senior prosecutors and top aides. Bratt allegedly improperly pressured Stanley Woodward, a lawyer representing a defendant indicted by Jack Smith, by implying that the Administration would look more favorably on Mr. Woodward's candidacy for a judgeship if his client cooperated with the Office of the Special Counsel.
