Smith’s appointment as special counsel by Attorney General Garland marked a significant juncture in the ongoing investigations implicating former President Donald Trump. Prior to assuming this role, Smith had a distinguished career as a war crimes prosecutor at The Hague and as a leader in the Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice. His extensive background was particularly pertinent given the intricate nature and high stakes of the investigations he was tasked with—namely, one involving potential mishandling of classified documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and another connected to the events surrounding January 6th.
