Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) threatened special counsel Jack Smith by saying his “days are numbered” after his two indictments of former President Donald Trump.
Higgins made the comments while reacting to a search warrant filed by Smith in August in the 2020 election case against Trump in Washington, D.C., which was seeking information from Twitter, now known as X, about Trump’s posts and accounts.

“So, let me say, regarding Jack Smith and his request for another list of American citizens under some alleged legitimate investigative effort,” Higgins said Thursday on Newsmax’s The Chris Salcedo Show. “I consider it a badge of honor to be on another one of Jack Smith’s lists. So, I’ll just say that his days are numbered, and American patriots are not going to stand idly by, good sir, and allow our republic to dissolve. We are prepared to fight legally and peacefully and within the parameters of the Constitution with every ounce of our might and focus.”
Smith is leading two of the four criminal indictments against the former president: charges related to Trump’s mishandling of classified documents in Florida and his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Washington, D.C.

The search warrant originally appeared on the docket in Washington in August but resurfaced earlier this week, with many expressing concern over the amount of information the special counsel was seeking from the social media company.
The former president has pleaded not guilty to all charges in both cases and has regularly attacked Smith as being “deranged,” among other complaints with the special counsel’s investigations.
