A new report seems to affirm the speculation that Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel for the Justice Department’s investigations of Donald Trump is part of an acceleration of the DOJ probe of the former president.
Despite concerns that the efforts were previously being handled in a more delicate manner, now attorneys connected to the investigation are saying that the DOJ will “no longer pull punches” in their legal proceedings.
After a long effort to retrieve documents that the National Archives says Trump improperly removed from the White House — culminating in an FBI search of his Florida home — the DOJ is showing their frustration with his denial and foot-dragging.
They’ve been asking his legal team to make assurances that he’s turned over any and all classified materials in his possession.
Sources close to the case have shared that Judge Beryl A. Howell declined a request from the DOJ in a closed-door hearing Friday, but unless and until the court accedes to multiple requests to unseal the record, the details of that remain murky.
