When Judge Cameron Currie surprised Pam Bondi's Counselor, Henry Whitaker, on Thursday with a question about whether DOJ believes Aileen Cannon wrongly dismissed Trump's stolen documents case, Whitaker claimed what distinguished Jack Smith from Lindsey Halligan is that Halligan is closely supervised. I do think that mostly what was driving Judge Cannon's decision in that case was sort of the unique and broad authority that the special counsel possessed sort of free of supervision, which, of course, is an element that we do not have here.

President Trump will not recommend a special counsel in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, rejecting calls for further action amid ongoing outrage from his supporters.

The suggestion of a special counsel to investigate the Jeffrey Epstein case makes no sense, according to legal analysts. It would serve only as a superficial solution.
