In a footnote to a court filing, Jack Smith revealed his resignation and urged the court not to extend a block on releasing his findings, challenging judicial authority.
Justice department officials contended that Judge Cannon overstepped her bounds by blocking the release of Smith’s report, affirming that only Attorney General Garland holds that power.
The Trump-nominated judge dismissed the documents case, asserting Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional, which has led to significant procedural disputes surrounding the investigations.
With Smith’s resignation, there’s concern that critical findings regarding Trump’s efforts to overturn the election and handling of classified documents may never be made public.
