Jack Smith had launched federal proceedings against Donald Trump for illegal attempts to reverse the results of the 2020 election.
An American agency opened an investigation into the actions of Jack Smith, the former special prosecutor who had educated two federal procedures against Donald Trump, American media reported on Saturday.
The Office of Special Counsel (OSC), a federal agency in charge of ethical issues within the federal state, told the New York Times that he studied a possible violation on the part of Mr. Smith of Hatch Act, which prohibits civil servants from carrying out political activities. According to media, the CSO had been seized by the Republican senator Tom Cotton, a relative of the president, in order to determine if Mr. Smith’s actions aimed to influence the 2024 presidential election won by Mr. Trump.

The republican billionaire made Jack Smith a privileged target of his ad hominem attacks. The latter had been appointed in 2022, under the Democrat Joe Biden, special prosecutor and launched federal proceedings against Donald Trump for illegal attempts to reverse the results of the election of 2020 and for detention of classified documents after his departure from the White House.
If he had lost the presidential election, Trump would have been sentenced
The proceedings had been abandoned following the last election under the tradition consisting in not continuing an in -office president. He then resigned from the Ministry of Justice. On the other hand, he transmitted his report in January, who concluded that Mr. Trump would have been sentenced to illegal attempts to reverse the results of the 2020 presidential election if he had not been re -elected.
The CSO cannot launch criminal proceedings but can transmit its conclusions to the Ministry of Justice which is competent to do so. The agency itself can simply order a dismissal which would have no effect since Mr. Smith has already left.
This procedure is added to a series of others targeting personalities considered hostile by Donald Trump. Among the latest aims are the former director of the FBI James Comey and the former CIA director John Brennan, both targeted by a police investigation.
