Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led the investigations and prosecutions against former President Donald Trump, plans to conclude his work on the Trump cases and step down before Trump's inauguration in January. Smith's decision to resign, as reported by The New York Times, comes as part of a broader transition within the Department of Justice, with other members of his team also expected to leave. This move is seen as an effort to avoid potential conflicts or interference from the incoming administration.
