Jack Smith Under Concocted Investigation Over Probes Into Trump
Jack Smith Under Concocted Investigation Over Probes Into Trump
Trumps Office of Special Counsel has launched an investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith, the prosecutor who tried to hold Donald Trump accountable for his alleged crimes
MSRAW 3 AUG 2025
The probe comes as Trumps administration accuses Smith of alleged violations of the Hatch Act, which limits political activities by government workers. Both of Smiths criminal cases were dropped after Trump came to power
The investigation is being driven by Trumps attack dog Sen. Tom Cotton, who baselessly claimed earlier this week that Smith used his DOJ role to influence the election by investigating Trump for alleged attempts to subvert the 2020 election storing classified documents in his Mar a Lago club
Cotton took issue with Smith filing court documents within 60 days of Election Day.
The Office of the Special Counsel, though officially independent of the government, is now run by a Trump appointee after the president fired the previous Biden appointed head.
Ironically, 13 officials from Trumps own first administration were found to have violated the Hatch Act in 2021
