President-elect Trump called former Special Counsel Jack Smith "desperate" and "deranged" for releasing his "fake findings" early Tuesday morning after the Justice Department released Smith's report.
"To show you how desperate Deranged Jack Smith is, he released his Fake findings at 1:00 A.M. in the morning. Did he say that the Unselect Committee illegally destroyed and deleted all of the evidence," Trump posted on Truth Social. Chris Pandolfo is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.

The Jan. 6 committee’s investigation was carried out when Democrats held control of the House and all of its members were appointed by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
