🚨🚨FULL STATEMENT on Jack Smith’s Illegal Weaponization Spying on Congress and Subsequent Perjury 🚨🚨 “The American people have long known that Joe Biden’s hand-picked prosecutor weaponized government at the highest levels, and I have long suspected that he unconstitutionally spied on Members of Congress — including me — and then perjured himself in front of Congress. The newly declassified records confirm exactly that. Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team unlawfully and unconstitutionally accessed my private text messages, along with 43 other Members of Congress, in clear violation of the Constitution. As President Trump has said, the illegal weaponization and abuse of power was not just against the President, it was against all his supporters who spoke out against it, and now we see it extended to duly elected Members of Congress. This is not an isolated incident. It is the latest and most egregious example of the most widespread and dangerous weaponization of the federal government in our nation's history that I have spent years fighting to expose. As a leading voice in Congress on the House Intelligence Committee and the Select Committee on Weaponization, I have worked to investigate and expose the Biden Administration’s collusion with Big Tech to censor Americans, the FBI’s illegal targeting of parents at school boards and traditional Catholics, the Russia collusion hoax, lawfare against President Trump and his allies, and the broader pattern of the deep state illegally targeting political opponents. These bombshell records confirm that unaccountable special counsels and federal agencies used their power to secretly and unconstitutionally surveil elected representatives without proper legal process. Accessing the private communications of lawmakers is an assault on the separation of powers, Congressional independence, and the Constitutional rights of every American. There must be criminal consequences for this egregious, unconstitutional, and illegal abuse of power targeting duly elected Members of Congress and the American people. Those responsible must be held fully accountable, and we must enact strong reforms to prevent any future administration from weaponizing government tools against the American people or their elected representatives. The American people sent us to Washington to defend the Constitution, not to allow it to be shredded by politically motivated prosecutors. I will continue leading the fight against this weaponization and abuse of power until real accountability and lasting reforms are achieved."
