This Is My Time. Brandon Gill Grills Jack Smith [8DERuw2NIKy]
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on January 22, 2026, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) questioned former Special Counsel Jack Smith about the subpoena for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy's phone toll records. Gill asked whether Smith considered the Speaker "a flight risk" and accused him of using false information to obtain a non-disclosure order. Smith responded that the purpose of such orders is to protect the integrity of an investigation, not because the phone subscriber is considered a flight risk.
