Trump Nemesis Jack Smith Under Investigation By Office Of Special Counsel
Federal officials have opened an investigation into Jack Smith, the former special counsel who investigated then-candidate Donald Trump before his reelection. The Office of Special Counsel, an independent federal agency has confirmed that Smith is now under investigation on suspicions he engaged in illegal political activity. Smith was named special counsel to investigate Trump by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland in November 2022. He prosecuted two federal cases against Republican candidate Trump in the lead-up to the November 2024 presidential election. President Trump and his Republican allies, including Sen. Tom Cotton, have accused Smith of violating the Hatch Act, a federal law that bans certain public officials from engaging in political activity.
