Senate Judiciary Democrats demanded that Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) apologize to former special counsel Jack Smith on behalf of the committee, after Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) accused him of perjury based on a mix-up of two sports teams.
Schmitt was caught in the embarrassing gaffe last month during the congressional questioning of Smith, when he accused him of perjury based on a confusion between two sports teams. Democrats aren’t keen to let Senate Republicans forget the incident, and in a letter dated Wednesday, obtained by Politico, ranking member Dick Durbin (D-IL) led the committee’s Democrats in demanding Grassley apologize and provide records related to the gaffe.
