WASHINGTON — Special counsel Jack Smith has resigned from the Justice Department, officials said in a court filing Saturday.

“The Special Counsel completed his work and submitted his final confidential report on January 7, 2025, and separated from the Department on January 10,” a government court filing said in a footnote.

The federal charges, brought by Smith, were dismissed after Trump was elected in 2024.

Smith oversaw investigations into Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, as well as allegations that he mishandled classified documents.

The former president was indicted in the classified documents case as well, though Cannon dismissed the case in July 2024, deciding that Smith was unlawfully appointed and funded.

The president-elect frequently criticized Smith, and he said in October that he would “fire him within two seconds” of taking office.

Smith has said that he would not release the second volume of his report regarding the classified documents case as charges against the co-defendants are pending. »
