The Washington Post reported Friday evening that Trump is planning to not only fire special counsel Jack Smith and his team of prosecutors, but will also deputize "investigative teams" that will "hunt for evidence in battleground states that fraud tainted the 2020 election."

Donald Trump’s choice of Tulsi Gabbard to be his next administration’s director of national intelligence is igniting new scrutiny after reports surfaced Friday that the former Hawaiian congresswoman was briefly placed on a government watch list.
