Smith led the federal cases against Donald Trump on charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat and mishandling of classified documents. Trump suggested he might seek retribution.

A former war crimes prosecutor, Smith was appointed in November 2022 – nearly two years after the US Capitol attack.

On Monday, the federal judge presiding over the classified documents case in Florida allowed the Justice Department to release part of Smith’s final report. According to court filings, the report is a detailed review of the decisions Smith made in his two indictments against Trump.
