The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has begun an investigation into Jack Smith, the former special counsel who led the Biden Department of Justice’s classified documents and Jan. 6 cases against President Donald Trump.
According to multiple reports, the OSC, an independent federal agency, is investigating Smith over alleged violations of the 1939 Hatch Act, which limits certain political activities of federal workers.
The announcement comes shortly after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) asked the OSC to investigate Smith over “unprecedented interference” in the 2024 election.
Smith previously resigned from his role at the DOJ just days before Trump took office.
