Mr. Trump has declared on Truth Social that Mr. Smith “should be prosecuted for election interference & prosecutorial misconduct.” The president has also called him a “career criminal.” He also reposted the radio host Mark Levin’s view that “Jack Smith must go to prison.”

The Justice Department has asked a federal appeals court to move swiftly in reversing a judge’s order that had blocked the agency from releasing any part of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigative report on Donald Trump.

The first part of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on his now-closed investigations into President-elect Trump was released Tuesday, days before he will be sworn into office.

The so-called documents case refers to Smith's probe into whether Trump left the White House in 2021 with classified documents.

President-elect Trump called former Special Counsel Jack Smith "desperate" and "deranged" for releasing his "fake findings" early Tuesday morning after the Justice Department released Smith's report.

Trump has frequently mused about seeking revenge on prosecutors like special counsel Jack Smith, who led the two federal criminal cases against Trump, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the New York hush money case that ended in Trump’s conviction.

The Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity made Jack Smith's prosecution of Trump much more difficult.

The first volume of special counsel Jack Smith's report on the 2020 election case against President Trump was released last week.

Six months after she dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon can now decide whether to squash the release of Jack Smith's report, too.

The Trump appointee said the DOJ couldn’t justify “the purportedly urgent desire” to share information about the ongoing criminal case.

Jack Smith's report says prosecutors could have convicted Trump had his election win not prevented the case from proceeding.
