Special Counsel Jack Smith formally resigns from Justice Department
Briefly

Jack Smith has formally resigned as special counsel after submitting his final report on the probes into Donald Trump's handling of classified documents and election interference.
Despite being charged with 37 counts related to classified materials, Trump’s cases were dismissed due to a longstanding DOJ policy that prohibits the prosecution of a sitting president.
Smith's investigations led to indictments against Trump for mishandling classified documents and attempting a 'criminal scheme' to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump, maintaining his innocence, referred to the prosecutions as a political witch hunt, resulting in the dismissal of both cases in November.
