Special Counsel Jack Smith Resigns After Finishing Trump Investigations

Trump made an effort to get the court to block the release of the report in a Wednesday amicus brief. The DOJ then indicated that it would only release the first part of Smith’s report which investigated the 2020 election and Trump’s potential actions to overturn it. Despite indicating that it would release the first half, the DOJ made the decision to hold the part dealing with the classified documents case while proceedings continue for Trump’s co-defendants.

Special Counsel Jack Smith resigned from the Department of Justice on Friday, days after finishing his criminal investigations into President-elect Donald Trump and ahead of his inauguration.

CBS News reported in November that Smith, who was appointed in 2022 by Attorney General Merrick Garland to lead the investigations into Trump, had plans to resign after completing his work.
