Donald Trump continues his attacks on Special Counsel Jack Smith despite the conclusion of criminal investigations against him. Trump accuses Smith of being 'evil' and 'illegally appointed' while claiming to have 'won' against him. Trump's efforts to prevent the release of Smith's final report, which summarizes his findings, are raising concerns about transparency and potential obstruction of justice.
Special counsel Jack Smith and his team have grudgingly wrapped up their criminal cases against Donald Trump — not because they want to, or because they lack compelling evidence, but because of Justice Department guidelines related to prosecuting a sitting president. With these developments in mind, it’s tempting to think the president-elect might abandon his attacks against the prosecutor and focus his attention elsewhere. It’s not quite working out that way.
It’s these findings that Trump wants to keep hidden from the American public. NBC News reported: Let’s not brush too quickly past the fact that the former criminal defendants brought the matter to Cannon — a highly controversial Trump-appointed conservative judge whose handling of the Republican’s classified-documents case was widely condemned by legal experts. Trump’s lawyers also sent a letter urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to stop Smith from releasing the report.
