Rep. Barry Moore: "Jack Smith was illegally appointed to carry out election interference on behalf of Joe Biden"

January 30, 2026 Press Release Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Barry Moore (AL-01) outlined the illegal appointment of Jack Smith as Special Counsel and his clear attempt to influence the 2024 election. Watch Rep. Moore's opening remarks and questioning below: "You were illegally appointed to serve as special counsel since you were not confirmed by advice and consent of the Senate, as stated in the Appointments Clause. You also issued an indictment against then-President Biden's most formidable political opponent. The candidate was President Trump, and you issued a gag order for President Trump during a 2024 election cycle. This was a major violation of President Trump's First Amendment rights and a poor attempt to outright censor the leading political candidate. These actions were nothing short of election interference..." Rep. Moore's full remarks can be seen here: High-res ###
