Media reported on Trump's intention to fire US Special Prosecutor Smith's team

US President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to fire the team of special prosecutor Jack Smith, who accused him. This was reported by The Washington Post on November 22.

"President-elect Donald Trump plans to fire the entire team that worked with special prosecutor Jack Smith on two federal prosecutions against the former president," the publication said.

According to Trump, the criminal cases against him were politically motivated.

According to the publication, the American leader-elect may create investigative teams at the Justice Department to search for evidence of fraud in the 2020 US presidential election. However, the idea has not yet been fully developed.

Earlier, on November 7, The Financial Times reported that US prosecutors are considering closing criminal cases against Trump. Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is handling two cases, is thinking about this. In the first, the former president is accused of interfering in the 2020 election. In the second - in improper handling of classified documents.

The election of the 47th American leader took place on November 5. In the national vote, Trump received 51% of the votes, and the candidate from the Democrats Kamala Harris - 47.4%. The next day, the politician, speaking to supporters, called himself the 47th President of the United States and said that his goal as head of state considers the cessation of military conflicts in the world.
