Rep. Matt Gaetz Files DOJ Complaint Against Special Counsel Jack Smith for Election Interference

The complaint accuses Smith of attempting to expedite the trial against former President Trump to influence the 2024 election, violating DOJ rules.

Rep. Matt Gaetz has filed a complaint with the DOJ Inspector General, accusing Special Counsel Jack Smith of unlawfully trying to expedite Donald Trump's trial.
The complaint argues that Smith's actions are intended to interfere with the 2024 presidential election, in violation of Department of Justice rules.
Trump's legal team supports the complaint, claiming Smith's haste in the trial process appears politically motivated.
The Supreme Court is set to hear Trump's presidential immunity claim in late April, with Gaetz and Trump's team alleging Smith's urgency is election-related.
Gaetz's complaint has sparked a debate on the DOJ's policy regarding the timing of legal actions to avoid influencing elections.
