Special Counsel Jack Smith Resigns After Unsuccessful Trump Prosecutions
Jan 11, 2025, 09:18 PM
Special Counsel Jack Smith has resigned from the Department of Justice after completing his final report on two federal investigations into President-elect Donald Trump. Smith's resignation, which was expected, was disclosed in a footnote in a court filing submitted to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Friday. The filings reveal that Smith separated from the Department on January 10, 2025, after submitting his confidential final report on January 7. Appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland in November 2022, Smith led investigations into Trump's handling of classified documents and alleged interference in the 2020 election, both of which concluded without successful prosecutions.
