Jack Smith’s Investigation Is Officially Closed

Attorney General Merrick Garland has formally alerted the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees that Jack Smith’s special counsel investigation of (now) President-elect Trump is closed. Smith, the AG’s letter adds, has delivered to Garland a two-volume final report — volume 1 on the January 6 investigation, volume 2 on the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation.

I explained yesterday that this report was imminent and that Garland would claim that the special counsel regulations — which he has a history of following only selectively — mandated it.
