Jack Smith Plans to Resign Before Trump's Inauguration
News summary

Special Counsel Jack Smith is planning to resign and wrap up his investigations into Donald Trump before Trump is inaugurated as president again. This preemptive resignation is in response to Trump's vow to fire Smith immediately upon taking office. Smith's two main investigations involve Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The DOJ is evaluating how to conclude these cases, adhering to its policy against prosecuting a sitting president. Smith has requested to pause proceedings and deadlines, indicating a shift towards closing these cases, a move that aligns with DOJ policies and Trump's election victory. Smith is expected to file a report summarizing his investigations, but it remains uncertain if and when it will be made public.
