Special Counsel Jack Smith required to submit Trump findings to DOJ before leaving. What happens next?
Fox News
Attorney General Merrick Garland will decide whether to make Special Counsel Jack Smith's report summarizing the results of his investigations into President-elect Trump public before President Biden leaves office or to punt that call to the incoming Trump administration.
Justice Department regulations mandate that a special counsel submit to the attorney general a confidential report detailing the findings of their investigation after it is concluded, and explaining any prosecution or declination decisions they reached as a result of the probe. Breanne Deppisch is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the 2024 election and other national news.
