Special counsel Jack Smith plans to leave Justice Department by the time Trump takes office
President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly said he plans to fire special counsel Jack Smith.
Summary
Special Counsel Jack Smith plans to step down from the Justice Department before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January, likely preventing Trump from firing him.
Smith, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Trump’s handling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election, will issue a final report, as required by Justice Department rules, before exiting.
Both federal cases against Trump are expected to wind down, as DOJ policy prohibits prosecuting a sitting president.
Judge Tanya Chutkan has requested an update on the cases by December 2.

4 years.... 4 fucking years Biden and the DOJ had time to hold the orange fucker accountable and they did nothing.
Totally makes sense now why we lost so decisively in essentially every level of government to Republicans
