The Department of Justice is removing Jack Smith as special counsel and dropping his two federal investigations into President-Elect Donald Trump following Trump’s dominant win in Tuesday’s election.

Fox News reported that the DOJ is removing Smith because they have acknowledged that they cannot prosecute a sitting president.

Smith will be gone from his position before Trump is inaugurated on January 20, 2025, Fox News reported.

The network said that the move means that the DOJ is dropping its two criminal cases against Trump.

The case involving Trump’s handling of classified material after he left office was already dismissed by a judge in Florida, but was being appealed by Smith.

Smith’s other case surrounded Trump’s actions following the 2020 presidential election.
