Gaetz accuses Jack Smith of election interference in DOJ complaint

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) filed a complaint with the Department of Justice inspector general on Wednesday, accusing special counsel Jack Smith of election interference by resisting attempts to delay his criminal prosecution of former President Trump.

Smith has pushed federal judges not to delay his case against Trump, which alleges that the former president attempted to overturn the 2020 election. Trump’s attorneys have invoked the Supreme Court over whether Trump can be prosecuted at all, possibly pushing back trial past the 2024 general election.

Gaetz claims Smith’s work is intended to influence the election, violating DOJ policy.

“The witch hunt against President Trump by Attorney General Garland and Special Counsel Smith is a partisan exercise, and the American people know it,” Gaetz said in a statement. “The actions of the Special Counsel Smith to speed up the trial against President Trump violate the DOJ’s rules and the law.”

DOJ already told them that the "policy" doesn't apply to those already charged.

To keep himself in the news and also a bit of a distraction from Matty Gaetz’s (Q-Groomer) own problems. The ethics committee is closing in on him (and I think I remember reading that the investigation on the criminal side has regained some traction, but I’m probably crossing stories in my head on this one).
