Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett stated that former special counsel Jack Smith — who headed up the Biden Department of Justice’s criminal cases against President Trump — should be investigated by Attorney General Pam Bondi over a “cozy arraignment” with outside attorneys.

Smith disclosed Friday that he had received $140,000 in pro bono legal services from the prestigious Washington, D.C. law firm Covington & Burling prior to his departure from the DOJ, according to a report from Politico. It is not precisely clear why Smith decided to seek outside legal advice, though President Trump has directed the DOJ to end politically-motivated prosecutions and investigate any Biden era employees who engaged in such conduct.

Attorney General Bondi has set up a working group to investigate the matter and instructed members to probe “weaponization by Special Counsel Jack Smith and his staff who spent more than $50 million targeting President Trump, and the prosecutors and law enforcement personnel who participated in the unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home.”

On Monday, Fox Business host Elizabeth McDonald asked Jarrett about the recent disclosure and whether it raises any legal, civil or ethics questions.

“Yeah, I mean, just taking this gift, for example, from a firm aligned with Democrats only fortifies the evidence of political bias and maybe corruption that drove the lawfare campaign against Trump,” Jarrett said. “This cozy arrangement, I think, demands further disclosure, more investigation.”
