Former President Donald Trump said Thursday that if he wins the White House, he will fire special counsel Jack Smith 'within two seconds' of taking office.
FILE - Special counsel Jack Smith speaks about an indictment of former President Donald Trump, Aug. 1, 2023, at a Department of Justice office in Washington. Former President Donald Trump said Thursday that if he wins the White House, he will fire special counsel Jack Smith “within two seconds” of taking office.
Smith, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2022, has charged the former president over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, as well as his supposed mishandling of classified documents. Trump, who has suggested before he would fire him if he were president, also called Smith a “crooked person.”
Smith has brought two federal cases against Trump. One, accusing him of illegally retaining classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, was dismissed in July, a decision that Smith is appealing.
