Jack Smith, the special counsel, is set to resign alongside his team to ensure all ongoing investigations concerning Donald Trump are concluded before the new president takes office.
Mr. Smith's objective is to finalize his complex investigations into Trump, which have been hindered by judicial delays, before Trump's return to power alters the situation.
Operating under the principle that no individual, even a former president, is above the law, Mr. Smith is now focusing on public perception as he concludes his tenure.
The outcome of the election effectively ended the federal criminal investigations into Trump, as Department of Justice policy maintains that a sitting president cannot face criminal prosecution.
