Special Counsel Jack Smith successfully brought two cases up against T****, mishandling of govt documents and against T’s efforts to overturn his election 2020 loss. Too many delays stalled the conviction.

Special Counsel Jack Smith to resign before Trump takes office
Image source,ReutersUS Special Counsel Jack Smith plans to resign, external before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, external in January, The New York Times and NBC News report.
Trump said last month that he would fire Smith from his post if he was re-elected. Smith brought two federal criminal cases against the Republican.
The first case involves the alleged mishandling of classified documents after Trump left the White House, charges he denies.
The second concerns his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden. Smith filed criminal charges against Trump last year, but the case has been in limbo after a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. Trump has pleaded not guilty.
Smith’s office was looking into ways to wind down the investigations into Trump, part of the US Justice Department’s policy that sitting presidents cannot be criminally charged.
