Trump Vows to Fire Special Counsel Jack Smith if Re-Elected

Donald Trump plans to dismiss the special counsel investigating him, raising concerns about presidential accountability and the rule of law.

Trump has expressed his intention to fire special counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating him for alleged crimes related to the 2020 election and classified documents.
Smith has indicted Trump on multiple counts, including charges related to the January 6 insurrection and the retention of classified documents.
Trump claims that a Supreme Court ruling grants him immunity from prosecution for certain official acts, fueling his belief in presidential impunity.
Critics warn that Trump's actions could undermine the independence of the Department of Justice and erode public confidence in the rule of law.
Legal experts suggest that Trump's potential re-election could lead to significant changes within the DOJ, with loyalists possibly replacing career officials.
