President-elect Donald Trump attacked political foe Jack Smith at least one more time as the special prosecutor resigned from the Justice Department on Friday. The resignation, which comes just days before Trump is set to take office, was somewhat expected after Smith brought cases against Trump pertaining to election interference and mishandling classified documents. “The Stench of Deranged Jack Smith and his thugs is GONE,” wrote Trump in a Sunday morning Truth Social account. “They were sent packing after spending over $100,000,000, destroying the lives of many people and families, who will never be the same again.” Smith resigned just as the Justice Department completed its report, which includes an investigation into Trump’s work to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The report is currently under wraps amid a legal battle that is fighting to block its release. “Deranged Jack accomplished nothing,” wrote Trump, “except to show what complete losers my political opponents are!!!” Smith’s resignation and his report are yet another example of the president-elect defying the odds in his legal spats, with only eight days left until his return to the White House.
