DOJ Getting Rid Of Jack Smith Before Trump Takes Office, Dropping All Federal Cases

In a surprising move following the recent election, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has reportedly removed Jack Smith from his role as special counsel and is dropping his ongoing federal investigations into President-elect Donald Trump. Smith was leading probes into Trump’s handling of classified materials and his actions following the 2020 election. This decision comes after Trump’s strong victory, which secured his return to the presidency.

The DOJ’s action signals a shift in federal priorities under the new political landscape, effectively ending two of the most high-profile cases against Trump.
