All eyes are on President-elect Donald Trump, who is planning a controversial move to fire the team that worked under special counsel Jack Smith, including removing his career lawyers who are typically legally shielded from political interference.
These measures aim to reshape the investigative teams within the Justice Department to direct the search towards specific evidence. It is worth noting that this team was responsible for two federal criminal cases against Trump, which makes the decision to dismiss it a sensitive issue that raises questions about the independence of the department and the possibility of politicizing its work.
These developments come at a critical time that could have significant implications for ongoing investigations into Trump’s activities. It remains to be seen how these events will develop, and whether they will impact the course of justice and the future of these cases.
