BREAKING: Formal Investigation Launched Into Jack Smith
on August 1, 2025

The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) has launched a formal investigation into Jack Smith, a former special counsel who led both of the Biden-led Justice Department’s criminal cases against President Donald Trump.
In his capacity as a special counsel, Smith launched two separate criminal investigations into the Biden Administration’s chief political rival. The first case spawned dozens of felony charges for alleged mishandling of classified documents before it was eventually tossed by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who ruled that Smith’s appointment did not follow constitutional procedure.
The second case, which involved Trump’s legal challenges to the 2020 presidential election, was cut in half when the Supreme Court issued their ruling on presidential immunity last year. It was ultimately scrapped entirely after Trump won re-election this past November.
According to an email obtained by the New York Post, a formal review of Smith’s conduct has been launched by the Hatch Act Unit, which enforces a law restricting government employees from engaging in political activities. The email was penned by Senior Counsel Charles Baldis at the Office of Special Counsel.
“I appreciate the Office of Special Counsel taking this seriously and launching an investigation into Jack Smith’s conduct. No one is above the law,” Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) told the outlet. “Jack Smith’s actions were clearly driven to hurt President Trump’s election, and Smith should be held fully accountable.”
