For the last few years, Special Counsel Jack Smith has been working to bring charges against former President Donald Trump.
However, Trump has recently hinted that Smith might find himself facing charges in a courtroom.
Trump’s words came in the form of a Truth Social post that the former president put up on Monday.
“Somebody please explain to Rep. James Clyburn, not the brightest bulb in the House, that I am beating the Biden/Harris Prosecutors, like Deranged Jack Smith, whose case against me in Florida, ‘the biggest of them all’ according to the Radical Left Lunatics, was just ‘thrown out’ as being Unconstitutional,” Trump wrote.
“Now it is my time to sue them for illegally breaking into, and raiding, Mar-a-Lago,” the former president went on to declare.
He concluded by saying, “All of these Biden/Harris cases against me are a Weaponization of Justice against their Political Opponent, Me — Strictly Third World Country. MAGA2024!”
“She is well equipped to prosecute… the case against Donald Trump,” Clyburn told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” adding, “He has lost against all of the prosecutors he’s gone up against this far [and] he’s gonna lose to this one.”
In the meantime, Trump’s remarks about Smith refer to the dismissal of charges by Judge Aileen Cannon, who threw out the special counsel’s case against him for mishandling classified documents.
Fox News recently disclosed that Cannon dismissed the case on the basis that Smith’s appointment violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.
It states, “Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States be appointed by the President subject to the advice and consent of the Senate, although Congress may vest the appointment of inferior officers in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.”
Earlier this month, Smith faced a legal setback from the Supreme Court in a case involving Trump’s actions after the 2020 election.
The highest court ruled that a president’s official actions are presumed to be immune from prosecution.
Newsweek noted that it is unclear why Trump would sue Smith, especially since the special counsel only became involved in the case after federal agents raided Trump’s home.
