The Department of Justice has been ordered to provide information on communications between former special counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis about the prosecution of Donald Trump. The January 28 ruling is the latest development in a lawsuit against the Department of Justice filed by Judicial Watch in 2023. Why It Matters Willis led an investigation into allegations that Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia after losing the state to Joe Biden. The inquiry resulted in indictments against Trump and 18 alleged coconspirators on charges of racketeering and other crimes. Smith...

For several years now, anti-Trump partisan operatives inside the Department of Justice, including FBI and CIA, have been given a pass for their deceitful and criminal actions. Of course, this group includes leaders from the intel agencies and their loyal underlings. They have worked for years in their quest to destroy President Trump and destroy his populist movement. They were shocked when President Trump won in 2016 so they rigged the 2020 election to make sure it did not happen again. Then, in 2024, they once again underestimated Donald Trump’s popularity and were completely rattled when Trump overcame the vast...

A “prolific anti-Trump FBI agent” allegedly broke protocol in order to open and push the FBI’s initial investigation into President Donald Trump and the 2020 election, according to whistleblower records released by Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ron Jonson, R-Wis., Thursday. Former FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Timothy Thibault, who was fired for violating the Hatch Act after Grassley exposed his public anti-Trump statements, authored the initial language for “Arctic Frost,” the investigation that would become former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lawfare case against Trump over the 2020 election. “Thibault took this action despite being unauthorized to open...

The Justice Department is firing more than a dozen key officials who worked on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team prosecuting President Donald Trump, after Acting Attorney General James McHenry said they could not be trusted in "faithfully implementing the president’s agenda," Fox News Digital has learned. McHenry has transmitted a letter to each official notifying them of their termination, a Justice Department official exclusively told Fox News Digital. "Today, Acting Attorney General James McHenry terminated the employment of a number of DOJ officials who played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump," a DOJ official told Fox News Digital. "In...

Trump’s Justice Department went scorched earth on Monday and fired more than a dozen officials who worked on former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team. Acting Attorney General James McHenry said Jack Smith’s prosecutors and aides cannot be trusted so he terminated more than a dozen of them. The names of the fired officials were not released. Former US Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate Trump in November 2022 just one day after Trump announced his reelection bid. Jack Smith indicted Trump on more than 37 counts in a Florida court in an Espionage Case...

A federal court on Tuesday condemned the Department of Justice’s efforts to provide members of Congress Volume II of the Special Counsel report while criminal prosecutions related to the report remained ongoing. While the country has moved on from the issue following Donald Trump’s inauguration, last week’s order crystalizes the Biden Administration’s outrageous weaponization of the DOJ against not just Trump but those associated with him. Two weeks before Trump’s inauguration, the DOJ announced its intent to publicly release Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigations into Trump’s challenges to 2020 election and Trump’s retention of supposedly classified documents....

Federal judges in the District of Columbia are expressing disdain for President Trump’s J6 pardons and are threatening to resist DOJ requests to dismiss open cases. It should come as no surprise that Washington, D.C. judges who have presided over the prosecutions of Trump supporters strongly object to the pardons and commutations made by the President on his first day in office. Their outrage came after the Trump DOJ requested that the judges dismiss cases that remain open.. Trump’s pardons, issued on January 20, were among his first official actions in office. They granted unconditional clemency to over 1,500 J6...

A federal judge on Tuesday barred the Justice Department from sharing former special counsel Jack Smith's final report on the classified documents case against Donald Trump with members of Congress. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, found there was no urgent need for the Justice Department to share the report with the chair and ranking members of the House and Senate judiciary committees while an appeal involving Trump's co-defendants in the case is still pending. Then-U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said earlier this month he would not make the report public until the appeals involving Trump co-defendants Walt...

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that the Justice Department cannot share special counsel Jack Smith's classified documents report with members of Congress. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon extended the hold she had placed blocking the DOJ from sharing with four lawmakers Smith's report on his probe into President Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents. "In short, the Department offers no valid justification for the purportedly urgent desire to release to members of Congress case information in an ongoing criminal proceeding," Cannon wrote in an order published Tuesday, the day after Trump returned to office. Cannon, who dismissed...

FORT PIERCE, Florida — A federal judge appeared highly skeptical Friday of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s plan to show lawmakers the volume of special counsel Jack Smith’s report pertaining to his now dismissed criminal case against President-elect Donald Trump for hoarding classified documents. With the clock counting down towards Trump’s inauguration on Monday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon expressed serious doubts about nearly every argument a Justice Department attorney put forward for allowing the department to show four congressional leaders the portion of Smith’s report covering the classified-information probe. Over the course of a 90-minute public hearing, Cannon — a...

Smith gave the stenographers in the corporate media everything they needed to keep hyperventilating about Jan. 6 before Trump’s inauguration. The propaganda press dutifully fell in line with regime messaging Tuesday, as nearly every corporate media outlet ran with headlines claiming President-elect Donald Trump would have been convicted in the Jan. 6 case if he lost re-election — because lawfare specialist Jack Smith said so. Smith, the former special counsel charged with weaponizing the justice system to go after Trump, released his report on the Jan. 6 prosecution, which was designed for a woefully uncurious media complex to regurgitate nonsense...

The freshly released Jack Smith report is a textbook example of a dirty “legal wrap-up smear,” a term describing the intersection of partisan politics and legal weaponization. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi explained this tactic in 2017: "You smear somebody with falsehoods... you merchandise it, and then you write it, and they’ll say, ‘See, it’s reported in the press.’ Then it’s called a wrap-up smear."This tactic is glaringly evident in the report’s handling of former President Donald Trump. One of its most egregious admissions is that prosecutors considered—but ultimately declined—to charge Trump under the Insurrection Act. This is significant because Democrats...

The Justice Department made public Volume I of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s final report on his now-closed investigations into President-elect Donald Trump, days before he is set to be sworn into office. Attorney General Merrick Garland released the first volume, which focuses on the election case against Trump, of Smith’s report on Tuesday at midnight after back-and-forth in the federal court system. An opening letter from Smith to Garland said that it is "laughable" that Trump believes the Biden administration, or other political actors, influenced or directed his decisions as a prosecutor, stating that he was guided by the Principles...

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday rejected a motion to extend her injunction to block the Justice Department’s release of Jack Smith’s January 6 volume of report on Trump. US Attorney General Merrick Garland fought to release Jack Smith’s final report all weekend after Judge Cannon’s temporary injunction blocking the release expired on Monday evening. Last Thursday, a federal appeals court rejected President Trump’s request to block the release of Jack Smith’s report. Jack Smith resigned from the Justice Department on Saturday. Judge Cannon allowed the DOJ to release the January 6 volume of the report but blocked the classified documents...

U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday allowed the release of the volume of special counsel Jack Smith’s report dealing with President-elect Trump’s efforts to block the peaceful transfer of power. In a five-page ruling, Cannon denied an effort by Trump and his two co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case to block the release of both volumes of the report, noting that prosecutors argued the election inference report has little to do with the ongoing trial against the two men. “Based on these representations, the Court sees an insufficient basis to grant emergency injunctive relief as to Volume I,”...

Smith left the Department of Justice on January 10 but not before pushing to release a bogus report and misleading the courts about the report's contents in the process. In a footnote contained in a motion last week, the Department of Justice disclosed that Special Counsel Jack Smith officially resigned on January 10. Smith had announced his plans to leave the DOJ a few days after Donald Trump won the presidential election. But it appears Smith, the losingest prosecutor in DOJ history, pulled one more stunt on his way out the door: sending an unnecessary and one-sided “report” on his...

Special counsel Jack Smith resigned from the Department of Justice following the completion of his cases against President-elect Donald Trump. Smith resigned on Friday, according to a court filing that was submitted Saturday. Officials at the DOJ urged U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon not to extend the court order issued by her to block Smith's final report, according to Politico. The two cases that Smith oversaw were the so-called classified documents case and the federal election interference case.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday blocked the release of a special counsel’s final report into President-elect Donald Trump, pending a decision by an appeals court. The order bars special counsel Jack Smith and the Department of Justice (DOJ) from releasing the report until the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals reviews a motion submitted by Trump’s co-defendants. “Pending resolution of the Emergency Motion filed in the Eleventh Circuit ... Attorney General Garland, the Department of Justice, Special Counsel Smith, all of their officers, agents, and employees, and all persons acting in active concert or participation with such individuals...
