The US Office of Special Council (OSC) is investigating former Special Advocate Jack Smith, OSC has confirmed Fox News.
Smith was tapped in 2022 by the then Attorney General Merry Garland to work as a special lawyer about two investigations related to President Donald Trump.

“President Trump definitely deprived Joe Biden, Jack Smith, every Democrat, who launched the law against him, but the amazing victory of President Trump did not excuse Smith for responsibility for his illegal election intervention. So I ask a special counsel to check whether Jack Smith or any member of his team has worked for political symptoms,” wrote.
