President-elect Donald Trump had a few choice words for former Special Counsel Jack Smith after the former special counsel's report on the Trump investigations was released.
In that report, Smith stood by his decision to charge Trump criminally. A letter from Smith to Garland said that it is "laughable" that Trump believes the Biden administration, or other political actors, influenced or directed his decisions as a prosecutor, stating that he was guided by the Principles of Federal Prosecution.
On Truth Social, Trump responded, posting that, "Deranged Jack Smith was unable to successfully prosecute the Political Opponent of his “boss,” Crooked Joe Biden, so he ends up writing yet another “Report” based on information that the Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs ILLEGALLY DESTROYED AND DELETED, because it showed how totally innocent I was, and how completely guilty Nancy Pelosi, and others, were. Jack is a lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election, which I won in a landslide. THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!"
In a later post, Trump added, "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."
The report came out hours after Special Counsel David Weiss released his report on the Hunter Biden investigation, and hours before confirmation hearings for several Trump cabinet picks kick off in the Senate.
