Then-Special Counsel Jack Smith makes a statement to reporters after a grand jury returned an indictment of former president Donald Trump in the special counsel’s investigation of efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat, at Smith’s offices in Washington, D.C., August 1, 2023.

Jack Smith is a threat to American democracy.
He is blatantly seeking, as a prosecutor, to influence the outcome of the 2024 election. This is not his role and, in fact, is against Justice Department guidelines. If Smith succeeds, the consequences will be long-lasting — the special counsel will have delivered a devastating blow to the legitimacy of our electoral system, in the name of defending it.
