Washington, D.C. — Special Counsel Jack Smith has reportedly requested that an appeals court halt his ongoing appeal against President-elect Donald Trump concerning alleged mishandling of classified documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
This request follows a similar action Smith reportedly took in the separate D.C. case last week, investigating alleged interference tied to the 2020 presidential election.
Fox News has also reported that Smith may be stepping down from his role before President-elect Trump assumes office. However, this development has yet to be confirmed by the Department of Justice or Smith’s office.
This remains a developing story, and additional updates are expected as more information becomes available. Please check back for the latest details.
