The federal government reportedly launched a probe into the actions of special prosecutor Jack Smith who investigated President Trump’s criminal cases beginning in 2022.
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel said Saturday officials would look into Smith’s potential violation of the Hatch Act, which restricts government employees from political involvement, according to NBC News.
The office did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment.
The investigation comes after Trump and his allies have previously alleged that Smith went after Trump without legal standing in an effort to thwart his second campaign for the presidency.
Former Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith three days before the president announced his reelection bid.
