#Jack #Smith, the former justice department special counsel who led the aborted federal prosecution of Donald Trump,
told a congressional committee that he never spoke to #Joe #Biden about his cases,
according to the transcript of a depositionreleased on Wednesday.In his behind-closed-doors testimony to the House judiciary committee earlier this month,
Smith defended the charges he brought against Trump for allegedly possessing #classified #documents
and attempting to #overturn the 2020 #election,
while warning of the consequences of allowing election #meddling to go unpunished.“Theoretically, what happens if there is election interference and the people who are responsible for that are not held accountable?”
Democratic congresswoman Pramila Jayapal asked.🔥“It becomes the new norm,
and that becomes how we … conduct elections,”
Smith replied, according to the transcript.“And so the toll on our democracy,
if you had to describe that, what would that be?”
the congresswoman asked.
💥“Catastrophic,” Smith said.Trump and his Republican allies have alleged that the former special counsel was a key figure in a justice department that Biden had “weaponized” against his predecessor.
The Republican-controlled House judiciary committee earlier this year heard testimony from one of Smith’s top deputies,
and months later subpoenaed the former special counsel for private testimony.
Smith had offered to voluntarily testify in public, as special counsels typically do.In questioning from Democratic congressman Dan Goldman,
👉Smith said he operated without interference from #Merrick #Garland, the attorney general who appointed him, or any other top justice department officials.“Did President Biden ever give you any instructions about what you should or should not do related to these investigations?”
Goldman asked.
💥“No,” Smith replied,
later specifying he had not spoken to Biden about his cases in any way.Smith was appointed in November 2022, and quickly brought the two federal cases against Trump, who also faced state-level charges of election interference in Georgia, and falsifying business records in New York.
While he would later be convicted of #34 #felonies in the Manhattan case,
neither of Trump’s federal indictments went to trial before he returned to office following the 2024 election,
after which Smith, in line with justice department policy, dropped the charges.The election-interference case was slowed by pretrial motions, including a supreme court ruling that gave presidents #immunity for official acts and forced Smith to make changes to his case.
The classified-documents case was hampered by rulings from Florida judge #Aileen #Cannon, who at one point dismissed Smith’s indictment.
Smith authored a report into his prosecutions, and the portion covering the election interference case was released prior to Biden leaving office.
🆘However, Cannon has barred the chapter discussing the classified-documents charges from being made public, though Democrats on the judiciary committee have asked her to reverse her decision.
At the outset of the hearing, an attorney for Smith, Peter Koski,
told the committee the former special counsel had received an email from the justice department advising him to avoid talking about his evidence in the case because of Cannon’s ruling.

Judge #Aileen M. #Cannon’s stunning dismissal this week of the most serious charges faced by Donald Trump put her on shaky legal ground, according to experts,
who say she is🔸 on track to be reversed on appeal
🔸 and could even be removed from the case
— an extraordinary, but not unheard of step.
Because of the political calendar, however, any legal repercussions could be short-lived.
Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified national security records and obstruction of government efforts to retrieve the material
🔸may not matter if the former president and current Republican nominee is elected in November.If he gets back to the White House, Trump could pressure his Justice Department to close the case.
He could also promote Cannon to the very appeals court that will soon examine her decision to toss the case. Cannon’s finding that special counsel #Jack #Smith was improperly appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Trump
conflicts with numerous past court decisions and the nation’s long history
— during both Democratic and Republican administrations
— of allowing #independent #prosecutors to handle high-profile instances of alleged wrongdoing. ⭐️Smith has filed notice of his plans to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit,
which reviews decisions from the Florida district where Cannon,
a relatively inexperienced judge appointed by Trump in 2020, sits.⭐️The court has already rebuked her twice for her handling of other aspects of the classified documents case,
sending what Yale Law School professor Akhil Amar described as a message that her decisions had been “way out of line.”
The question now, Amar said, is
💥how quickly and dramatically the appeals court acts on the latest ruling, 💥
which dismissed the entire indictment for Trump and his two co-defendants.
“They may not want to stick their head in a #buzz #saw if they can just let the case take its slow, deliberative course,” he said.
In her 93-page decision, Cannon said there is no specific statute authorizing the attorney general to appoint a special counsel.She also said the Constitution requires someone with Smith’s authority to be confirmed by the Senate.
The judge acknowledged the tradition of special-attorney-like figures in moments of political scandal involving high-level government officials,
from #Watergate to #Iran-#contra to Russia’s attempts to #interfere in the 2016 election.
But Cannon said the practice of appointing such independent prosecutors has been inconsistent and based on a “spotty historical backdrop.”Smith, she wrote, is “a private citizen exercising the full power of a United States Attorney, and with very little oversight or supervision.”
Conservative legal groups have long questioned the constitutionality of special counsel appointments.
Cannon repeatedly cited Justice #Clarence #Thomas, who raised the issue in a solo opinion this month as part of the Supreme Court’s decision granting Trump broad immunity from prosecution for official acts.
That Supreme Court case focused on Smith’s separate election interference prosecution of Trump in D.C.
She also embraced the arguments in a law review article by #Gary #Lawson of Boston University School of Law and #Steven G. #Calabresi, a Northwestern law professor and 🔸a co-founder of the Federalist Society, with which Cannon is affiliated.
Other legal experts, however, have joined former Justice Department officials and Smith’s legal team in saying
her ruling ignores the history of special counsel appointments and flouts Supreme Court precedent.
Most notably, the high court in 1974 unanimously required President Richard M. #Nixon to hand over recordings to a special prosecutor as part of the #Watergate investigation.In that opinion, the justices endorsed the office, citing several statutes under which the attorney general had
“delegated the authority to represent the United States in these particular matters to a Special Prosecutor with unique authority and tenure.”
While lower-court judges are bound to follow the Supreme Court’s lead,
🔸Cannon took the unusual step of finding she was not required to abide by that aspect of the high court’s opinion in U.S. v. Nixon,
🔸saying the case did not directly address the validity of the office of special counsel.Michael J. Gerhardt, a University of North Carolina law professor who teaches about constitutional conflicts between presidents and Congress, said
Cannon cannot just brush aside a unanimous high court ruling.
“For a trial judge to ignore it is judicial malpractice,” he said, describing her most recent decision as
part of a “pattern of bias that leads her to endorse wacky or unfounded arguments,
and that’s a problem if you’re a judge.”
