Source: US News & World Report

“U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith plans to step down along with other members of his team before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources. Smith brought two of the cases against Trump, one involving classified documents Trump kept after leaving office and the other involving his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. A Florida-based federal judge in July dismissed the documents case. The Justice Department is now evaluating how to wind down Smith’s election-related case.” (11/13/24)
