How Jack Smith’s Case Against Trump Collapsed

The Washington Post runs an excerpt from Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America’s Justice Department by Carol Leonnig and Aaron Davis.

“This behind-the-scenes account reveals new details about the inner workings of Smith’s highly secretive team as he pushed it to complete a historic investigation in record time, including the venue choice that led to the unraveling of the most clear-cut criminal charges that Trump faced.”

“It lays bare previously unreported dissension on the Smith team over how to manage the classified documents investigation. And it recounts for the first time Smith’s effort to remove Cannon from the case, an idea that a top Justice Department official rejected and that Smith never presented to Attorney General Merrick Garland.”
