Jack Smith, who led criminal investigations on Trump, was under investigation by the position of Special Adviser

The Office of the Special Adviser to the New York Times said that he was investigating Smith due to its violation of the opening law, which prevents federal workers from participating in political activity during the job.

According to the Republican Senator Tom Couton, the agency was investigated whether Smith’s actions were designed to influence the 2024 elections.

The agency, which monitors the behavior of federal employees, did not immediately respond to the request for comment by Agence France -Presse.

Smith was appointed as a private advisor in 2022, and Trump was accused of planning to cancel the results of the 2020 elections and the documents classified worse after leaving the White House.

Trump denied both charges and sought to framing them as political motives, accusing the Ministry of Justice of being weapons against him.

No two cases were tried at all, and the Special Adviser – in line with the Ministry of Justice’s policy for not being prosecuting the head of sitting – was not prosecuted – after Trump won the presidential elections in November 2024.

Smith then resigned before Trump could pledge to his campaign to launch it.

The Special Advisor Office works separately from the Office of the Special Advisers at the Ministry of Justice, such as those headed by Smith.

The decisions of the Public Prosecution that Smith usually make under its jurisdiction, according to the Times.

You cannot put criminal charges against Smith, but it can refer the results it reached to the Ministry of Justice, which has this power.

The most severe punishment under the hatching law is to end the work, which will not apply to Smith because it has already resigned.

Since he took office in January, Trump has taken a number of punitive measures against his imagined enemies.

He stripped the former officials of their security permits and their preventive details, targeting the law firing companies participating in the previous cases against him and withdrawing federal funding from universities.

Last month, the FBI opened criminal investigations into former director James Kumi and former CIA president John Brennan, the prominent critics of Trump.

A few days later, the daughter of Kumi Mourin – Federal Prosecutor was dealing with the case of famous sexual crimes, Jeffrey Ibstein, who was repeatedly linked to Trump – was suddenly expelled.
