Smith and his team plan to resign before Trump takes office, one source told NBC News earlier this month.

Special counsel regulations require Smith to file a report to the attorney general explaining his charging decisions before he steps down.

Conservative judges on the Supreme Court handed Trump a sweeping victory in the case with its ruling on presidential immunity.

In a decision that legal experts widely criticized and that Smith vowed to appeal, Cannon found that Smith had not been properly appointed as a special counsel.

The Justice Department is focused on arresting the "most egregious" rioters before Trump returns to office. »
