Former President Donald Trump stated on Thursday that, if reelected, he would fire Special Counsel Jack Smith 'within two seconds' of taking office. Jack Smith is the federal prosecutor who has brought two federal indictments against Trump, including investigations into alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump made these remarks during an interview with podcast host Hugh Hewitt. While Trump cannot directly dismiss Smith, he could appoint an attorney general who would drop the federal cases against him.
