The Justice Department’s special counsel tasked with overseeing two major investigations into former President Donald Trump has reportedly returned to the United States after staying in Europe to recover from an injury.
Special counsel Jack Smith returned to the country weeks after being appointed to head the DOJ investigations in November, initiating a series of high-profile moves from The Hague, sources told the Washington Post. It’s not entirely clear when Smith returned to the U.S., but officials told the outlet on Tuesday he had been back “for some time.”Smith was appointed on Nov. 18 to oversee the DOJ’s investigations into Trump’s conduct during the Jan.
The Justice Department has not yet announced Smith’s return to the U.S. The Washington Examiner reached out to the DOJ for comment. Since Thanksgiving, Smith has called two former White House lawyers, three of Trump’s closest aides, and former speechwriter Stephen Miller before a grand jury in Washington to give testimony. Smith has also issued a number of subpoenas to local officials in battleground states where Trump sought to overturn election results requesting communications with the former president in the weeks following the 2020 election.
