Special Counsel John L. “Jack” Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in 2022 to take over existing investigations into Trump after he launched his reelection bid.

Justice Department policy has long held that sitting presidents cannot face criminal charges.

Active cases against Trump are expected to vanish come Jan. 20 when he takes office.

Trump has promised retribution against Smith and other prosecutors who pursued him.
