Special Counsel Jack Smith to Resign Before Trump Presidency

Special counsel Jack Smith and his team plan to resign before Donald Trump takes office, as the Justice Department cannot charge a sitting president with a crime. Smith's office is evaluating how to wind down its work on two federal criminal cases against Trump, including election interference and mishandling classified documents. The Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity and a federal judge's dismissal of the classified documents case have complicated the proceedings. This decision follows Trump's recent re-election.
