BlockBeats news, on August 3, according to CCTV News, the U.S. federal oversight agency's special prosecutor's office confirmed on August 2 local time that former special prosecutor Jack Smith, who was in charge of the Trump case, is under investigation for 'suspected illegal political activities.'
Smith was appointed as special prosecutor in November 2022, responsible for the investigation and litigation of Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results and the improper handling of government confidential documents. Trump faces criminal charges in both cases. After the results of the 2024 presidential election were announced, Smith submitted materials to the U.S. federal court, dropping the charges against Trump. In the documents, he stated that the U.S. Constitution requires that criminal proceedings against a president-elect should be terminated before taking office. The Justice Department made a decision to drop the proceedings based on this provision. On January 10 of this year, Smith left the U.S. Department of Justice.
