DOJ Appoints Special Counsel

Due to "extraordinary circumstances," the Trump investigations have been turned over to a special counsel with experience in prosecuting political corruption.

Jack Smith's appointment as special counsel is a sign that Trump may soon be facing criminal indictments for the January 6 Insurrection, obstruction of justice, and for stealing sensitive government documents. Attorney General Garland said that, "Jack Smith has built a reputation as an impartial and determined prosecutor who leads teams with energy and focus to follow the facts wherever they lead.”
