Special Counsel Jack Smith resigned from the Justice Department on Friday, officials said in a court filing on Saturday.
The move was expected ahead of President-elect Donald Trump taking the oath of office.
Smith’s report on Trump’s alleged involvement in 2020 election interference is expected to be released soon. Trump has denied the allegations.
“The Special Counsel completed his work and submitted his final confidential report on January 7, 2025, and separated from the Department on January 10,” a government court filing said in a footnote.
