Jack Smith was named special counsel in two investigations targeting former President Donald Trump over the 2020 election and classified documents.

Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped longtime federal prosecutor Jack Smith as special counsel to oversee a multi-pronged investigation into former President Donald Trump's efforts to subvert the 2020 election and the unauthorized transfer of highly classified government documents to his Florida estate after exiting the White House.
A former top Justice Department official, Smith has served as chief of the department’s Public Integrity Section, and as investigations coordinator in the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague, Netherlands.
Garland's appointment is an attempt to shield the Justice Department from conflicts of interest in an unprecedented criminal investigation after Trump recently announced a bid to retake the White House now occupied by Garland's boss, President Joe Biden.
The attorney general cited Trump's campaign announcement earlier this week and Biden's stated intention to seek reelection in taking the extraordinary step.
