GOP Intensifies Scrutiny on Special Counsel Jack Smith Amid Trump Probes
TL;DR Summary
Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin cautioned Republicans against probing special counsel Jack Smith, suggesting it could be detrimental to Donald Trump. Smith is handling two federal cases against Trump, one related to the 2020 election and the other concerning classified documents. Toobin noted that if Smith were to testify publicly, it might not favor Trump. Despite Trump's plans to dismantle Smith's office if re-elected, Smith's team is considering winding down the cases in line with Justice Department policy against prosecuting sitting presidents. Meanwhile, Trump's civil cases, including a potential $500 million in penalties, could proceed.
