Special counsel Jack Smith intends to step down in the next few weeks to preemptively avoid dismissal by President-elect Donald Trump.
He will file a report on his election interference case against Trump by December 2, which will seek to vacate all charges related to Trump’s actions during the January 6 riots.
Meanwhile, U.S. House investigators are requesting all documents from Smith’s case before he leaves, with Rep. Jim Jordan indicating a willingness to subpoena Smith for testimony.
Additionally, Rep. Barry Loudermilk has urged Smith to preserve all records related to the investigation due to concerns about potential document purging after Trump’s election victory.
