Special counsel Jack Smith dropped President-elect Trump's federal 2020 election and classified documents cases. NBC News' Vaughn Hillyard and Ken Dilianian report more. State attorney for Palm Beach County Dave Aronberg joins Chris Jansing to weigh in.
After Donald Trump’s inauguration, he probably won’t be able to fire special counsel Jack Smith — though he clearly wants to — because the prosecutor will likely step down from his post before Jan. 20. The incoming president will, however, have an opportunity to go after the outgoing special counsel’s colleagues, and according to The Washington Post, these officials are apparently near the top of Trump’s revenge list.
What’s more, the idea that Trump “won the election in a landslide” is demonstrably silly, especially given the inconvenient fact that more Americans voted against him than for him, and the idea that the Biden administration is indifferent to “real violent criminals” is belied by the recent drop in the nation’s violent crime rate. All of which is to say that Leavitt, the incoming White House press secretary, doesn’t appear to have any idea what she’s talking about.
