Gaetz questions Jack Smith's authority to keep up Trump probes after judge calls him 'unlawfully appointed'
Fox News
Rep. Matt Gaetz is writing to Attorney General Merrick Garland, questioning the legitimacy of special counsel Jack Smith's most recent legal moves.
"On August 27, 2024, Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump in federal district court in the District of Columbia. One day later, he was arguing before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, attempting to overturn a federal district judge’s finding that he was unlawfully appointed by you," Gaetz wrote in the brief letter.

"It is unclear what authority Special Counsel Smith has to file either of these briefs or to provide services to the Department of Justice." Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
