Special counsel Jack Smith has charged Donald Trump over the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his alleged mishandling of classified documents. Donald Trump said Thursday that if he wins the White House, he will fire special counsel Jack Smith “within two seconds” of taking office. “He’ll be one of the first things addressed.” Trump, who regularly assails Smith and has suggested before that he would fire him if he were president, called Smith a “crooked person.” If elected, Trump could order the Justice Department to remove Smith. “I don’t think they’ll impeach me if I fire Jack Smith,” Trump said.
