Special Counsel Jack Smith and Team to Resign Before Trump Takes Office
Nov 13, 2024, 12:30 PM
Special Counsel Jack Smith plans to resign along with his team and conclude his work before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January, according to reports from The New York Times and NBC News. Smith has been leading two federal prosecutions against Trump. The decision comes as the Justice Department's policy prohibits charging a sitting president with a crime. Smith aims to finish his work and step down, anticipating that Trump, who has promised to fire him within "seconds" of being sworn in, will assume the presidency.
