Jack Smith, the former special counsel who led investigations into President Donald Trump, spoke out against the administration in a rare interview.
Smith’s investigations culminated in two Trump indictments surrounding his handling of classified documents and his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Smith left the Department of Justice in January, shortly before the start of Trump’s second term.
Sitting for an interview with visiting professor Andrew Weissman at University College London Faculty of Laws, Smith said that the Trump administration is “attacking” public servants, adding that he was “very concerned” by recent efforts to “demonize” the federal workforce.
