Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., sued former special counsel Jack Smith on Wednesday, alleging that his prosecution of the president also unconstitutionally pulled in her records as a member of Congress.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, moves a political fight over the sweep of Smith’s investigation into the courthouse. The complaint alleges that Smith targeted Blackburn for her politics and unconstitutionally obtained her phone records as he probed Donald Trump’s alleged attempt to overturn his loss in the 2020 election.
