The lawyers worked with the special consultant Jack Smith, who led the two federal persecution of Trump, who fell off the department after his elections in November. Smith resigned from the department at the beginning of this month.

Tensions with Justice Dept.
Trump and his allies look at the Ministry of Justice with deep suspicions after the prosecutors had accused the president of the national security and election crimes.
After his administration, the movements on Monday fell up to 20 officers from the Ministry of Justice for High -Rank Careers, including Bradley Weinsheimer, the supreme ethics officer, and the former head of the public corruption department Corey Amundson.
Amundson, whose section Smith’s prosecutors advised, announced his resignation on Monday.
The movements of the Ministry of Justice workforce, before the Senate’s votes, have taken place over the Attorney General of the Attorney General Pam Bondi von Trump. Bondi’s nomination is to be coordinated by a Senate committee on Wednesday.
Smith, who was appointed by the former Attorney General Merrick Garland, brought cases in which Trump accused of having illegally met in his social club in Florida and tried to impair the certification of the 2020 elections.
Trump was not guilty of all charges and argued that the cases reflected a “weapon” of the legal system.
Smith dropped both cases after Trump’s election and quoted a long -term policy against the persecution of a sitting president.
Many of those who worked on Smith’s cases were longstanding public corruption and national security lawyers who remained in the department when Smith had completed his investigation at the beginning of this month.
