Special counsel Jack Smith resigns from DOJ: reports
Special counsel Jack Smith, who spearheaded multiple criminal cases against Donald Trump, has reportedly resigned from the Department of Justice.
Smith was rumored to be ready to leave after he formally announced he was wrapping up the federal proceedings against the President-elect. The law forbids federal cases from being pursued against the White House occupant.
Jack Smith's resignation was reported by Kyle Cheney of Politico and others.
