As special counsel, Jack Smith will be the one who decides whether to bring charges against former President Trump
to his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida when he left office. Garland made clear in his announcement that the timing was tied to Trump’s campaign launch three days ago.
Garland named veteran prosecutor Jack Smith as special counsel. Smith is a former chief of the Department of Justice’s public integrity section, has served as a U.S. attorney, and has extensive experience supervising complex war crime cases in international courts.
“For six years I have been going through this, and I am not going to go through it anymore,” Trump told Fox News Digital in an interview. “I am not going to partake in it,” Trump said. The decision to hand both investigations to a special counsel is “political” and “a disgrace,” he said. Smith will be the one who decides whether to bring charges in those cases. “As special counsel, he will exercise independent prosecutorial judgment to decide whether charges should be brought,” Garland said.

The move Friday was announced just three days after Trump announced his 2024 candidacy. It’s a recognition of the unmistakable political implications of two investigations that involve not only a former president but also a current White House hopeful. Though the appointment installs a new supervisor atop the probes the special counsel will still report to Garland, who has ultimate say of whether to bring charges.
