Jack Smith to Resign and Release Final Report Before Trump Takes Office

Special Counsel Jack Smith plans to resign and issue a final report on his investigations into Donald Trump before Trump takes office, summarizing the cases related to Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his alleged mishandling of White House documents. The report, which must be completed quickly to be made public, will explain Smith's prosecution decisions. However, its release may be delayed due to pending legal proceedings and the need for intelligence review. Trump's incoming administration may not release the report if it isn't finalized before Inauguration Day.
