Trump Plans DOJ Investigations Into 2020 Election

President-elect Donald Trump reportedly plans to fire members of Special Counsel Jack Smith's team, who investigated him for his alleged mishandling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. This move, according to legal experts, could be illegal due to protections for career professionals against political retribution. Trump also intends to use the Department of Justice to investigate baseless claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election, despite a lack of evidence supporting these allegations. He has nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the Justice Department. The Supreme Court has ruled that sitting and former presidents have immunity from prosecution for 'official acts,' potentially affecting ongoing cases against Trump. These actions reflect Trump's continued belief in the narrative that the 2020 election was stolen from him, a view shared by many of his supporters.
