Special Counsel Jack Smith has quietly withdrawn a subpoena seeking records from former President Trump’s 2020 campaign as their investigation of whether his campaign committed any crimes continues.
This week, more than a year into their investigation, Smith’s office dropped the subpoena request from Trump’s campaign following the withdrawal of a similar subpoena to Save America, the PAC formed by Trump’s aides.
His campaign raised nearly $250 million despite claims the election was “stolen.”
More from Trending Politics:
The rescinding of the subpoenas to Donald J. Trump for President Inc. and Save America indicated that Smith’s office was slowing or even ending its months-long investigation into whether Trump’s political operation violated any laws by using election fraud claims to raise funds. The retraction of the subpoena for Save America was first reported by The Washington Post last week. Smith’s team has been attempting to find out, for more than a year, whether Trump and his advisers violated federal wire fraud statutes in their fund-raising, following a path initially followed by the House select committee investigating the events of January 6, 2021.
Prosecutors have been investigating Save America and the Trump campaign since at least November of last year. However, the financials of Smith’s probe were not mentioned in the indictment filed in August, which accused Trump of conspiring to remain in office by overthrowing the 2020 election.
According to reports, no reason was cited for the subpoena withdrawals.
Smith’s office has made inquiries about the Trump PAC before indicting the former president, including examining his campaign’s fundraising after the 2020 election, funds spent on contractors and lawyers, and speaking to witnesses who were connected financially to the PAC.
I think Smith and his “team” need to be put on trial and very soon.
Screw the trial...hang, draw, and quarter him, then cut of his head, stick on a pike and stick that pike in front of the White House!
This better not be another annoying tease by The Bee.
Well, so far & so much for the crack Special Counsel Jack Smith.
months-long investigation into whether Trump’s political operation violated any laws by using election fraud claims to raise funds. “
If you can’t answer a simple question like that in a couple hours the answer is “No”.
I don’t get it...
Is Smith withdrawing subpoenas??
Or is he WITHERAWING FROM THE RIDICULOUS CASE?
I read this twice and cannot decide what it means.
IF HE IS WITHDRAWING FROM THE CASE, THIS IS THE END OF THE DERANGED LUNATIC WHO THINKS HE KNOWS THE LAW...
But, he doesn’t KNOW THE PEOPLE.
Bttt
Subpoenas.
And now we know why Pence and Elder dropped out
When will DeSantis realize Trump is not going to jail?
As long as it was clear that the funds might be used to fight campaign-related lawsuits, it shouldn’t be illegal. How else can people support someone who is being railroaded? I suspect GoFundMe wouldn’t have allowed Pres. Trump to use their services, but I could be wrong.
Not just them but all the DA's and AG's who are also pushing this political witch hunt using lawfare. They have fully corrupted the system in most states and at the federal level. We need accountability and the appropriate prison sentences to go along with these high crimes I consider treason at the very least.
Yeah, maybe we’ll give them as fair a trial as they’re giving Trump.
Turnabout is fair play and it’s fun.
Screw the trial...hang, draw, and quarter him, then cut of his head, stick on a pike and stick that pike in front of the White House!

Trump or Biden?
Smith and his team have withdrawn 2 subpoenas......He is still wanting to destroy Trump
One of my fondest wishes is to see Trump elected and get vengeance. Cruel, heartless and brutal vengeance without quarter. I’m sick of taking the higher ground and being a chump. It goes nowhere.
Those vermin don’t deserve any “higher ground” treatment from Trump or any of us.
They’ve really crossed all the lines.
Smith, of course!
Nothing will change until Trump gets back into office, fires Garland and appoints an honest AG (Mark Levin is my choice).
