Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) has raised concerns regarding the appointment of Jack Smith as Special Counsel, alleging that Smith was appointed illegally and acted to influence the 2024 presidential election.
During his remarks in Washington, D.C., Rep. Moore stated: “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…”
Barry Moore has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Alabama’s 2nd district since 2021, after replacing Martha Roy. He previously served in the Alabama House of Representatives from 2010 to 2018 and holds a BS from Auburn University earned in 1992. Moore was born in Coffee County, Alabama, in 1966 and currently resides in Enterprise.
