Special Counsel Jack Smith investigates former President Trump’s handling of classified documents and his actions around the January 6 Capitol riot. Despite Trump’s repeated attacks on Smith, speculation arose that Trump may need to fire Smith if he wins the 2024 presidential election. However, a new report suggests Smith may have a way to avoid that scenario. According to sources, Smith is considering a strategy where he resigns as Special Counsel and re-emerges as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, thus making him easier to protect.
