Jack Smith Trashes Trump Justice Department in First Interview Since Resigning as Special Counsel (VIDEO)

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith on Thursday appeared on MS NOW to trash President Trump ahead of the Fourth of July weekend.

This is Jack Smith’s first interview since being forced to resign as special counsel in January 2025.

“I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I’ve seen in my lifetime,” Jack Smith told MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace.

Of course, Nicolle Wallace did not push back on Jack Smith.

“I have investigated cases focusing on the facts and law throughout my career. We did this case the same way, under the same standards,” Smith insisted.

“The thing that’s important for your viewers to know is those standards are not meant to change from one administration to the next, and in my experience — until now — they haven’t,” he added.

Jack Smith absurdly claimed his witch hunt against President Trump was not political.

“I was perfectly happy to bring this case if the facts and law warranted it or not,” Smith said. “It hasn’t mattered what person’s political party was to do that, that’s how we went about our work. Completely apolitical. Politics did not play a role,” he said.

Jack Smith whined about Trump’s verbal attacks against him.

I’ll give you an example from from my life. I resigned as special counsel. I know I need to get a lawyer because the president has said he wants to jail me for doing my job. And so I retain lawyers, as soon as that becomes public, the president and the justice department target that law firm, and they do it because they don’t want me to have counsel. They don’t want to have anyone represent me,” Jack Smith said.

WATCH:

Jack Smith was appointed as Special Counsel in 2022 by Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Trump just one day after Trump announced his 2024 bid for the White House.

Jack Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami in June 2023 for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate which was protected by Secret Service agents.

Trump was charged with 31 counts under the Espionage Act of willful retention of national defense information and 6 other process crimes stemming from his conversations with his lawyer.

In the summer of 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Jack Smith’s classified documents case based on unlawful appointment and funding of the special counsel.

In a separate case in Washington DC, Jack Smith indicted Trump on four counts: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Jack Smith’s DC case was dismissed after President Trump won the 2024 presidential election.

Last year, Judge Aileen Cannon blocked the Justice Department from sharing Jack Smith’s classified documents report with Congress.
