Special prosecutor for Trump's criminal case expected to resign
Jack Smith, the special counsel who led two federal criminal cases against Donald Trump, is expected to leave the Justice Department before the president-elect takes office, CBS News, the BBC's US media partner, reports.
If his exit goes to plan, Smith would leave without either of his criminal prosecutions of Trump – over the alleged improper hoarding of classified documents and an alleged attempt to interfere in the 2020 election outcome – seeing trial.
His team is reportedly winding down its work, as Trump's election renders the cases all but finished.
According to the AP, Trump said on Nov. 7 that he will fire Special Counsel Jack Smith "within two seconds" of taking office.
