Jack Smith Forced To 'Quietly' Withdraw Subpoena In Trump Jan. 6 Case
Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into alleged "election >interference" by former President Donald Trump appears to have reached a >standstill.
Smith may be wrapping up his investigation into whether Trump's campaign misled
investors by presenting false election claims after the 2020 election against >Joe Biden, according to people who spoke with The New York Times.
Smith's team has "quietly withdrawn a subpoena seeking records from" Trump's >2020 campaign "as part of their investigation into whether Mr. Trump's >political and fund-raising operations committed any crimes as he sought to stay
in power after he lost the election," two sources told the Times.
Continuing, the Times noted, "The office of the special counsel, Jack Smith, >decided this week to effectively kill the subpoena to the Trump campaign >following the withdrawal of a similar subpoena to Save America, the political >action committee that Mr. Trump's aides formed shortly after he lost the race >in 2020."
The outlet also pointed out that the fact that Smith's office is withdrawing >the subpoenas it had served to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., and the >Save America PAC implies that it is wrapping up its investigation into whether >the former president broke any laws when he claimed the 2020 election was >rigged to benefit himself.
The Times also credited the Washington Post for first reporting that the >subpoena issued to Save America was withdrawn.
Interesting the media has little to say about this major loss for
Dems.
