The Office of the Special Counsel has launched an investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith—the prosecutor who tried to hold Donald Trump accountable for his alleged crimes, CNN reported Saturday.

The probe comes as Trump's administration accuses Smith of alleged violations of the Hatch Act, which limits political activities by government workers.

Jack Smith's legal team have filed their first response to ethics complaints filed against him by President Donald Trump's allies.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) persuaded the Office of Special Counsel, which has no affiliation with Smith's role during Joe Biden's presidency, to investigate whether he violated the law by seeking to quickly bring Trump to trial, but Smith and his lawyers Lanny Breuer and Peter Koski challenged the allegations in a three-page letter to the acting special counsel Jamieson Greer, reported the New York Times.

A former Department of Justice official smiled and predicted calamity for Donald Trump over a report that an investigation into special counsel Jack Smith is ramping up.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Andrew Weissmann was asked about an investigation into whether Smith violated the Hatch Act when he investigated Donald Trump's crimes against the state that included an attempt to lead an insurrection and stealing government documents and hoarding them in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.

Special counsel Jack Smith's secret documents case against Donald Trump was unceremoniously dismissed over the summer — and the president now says those boxes that were seized are now being returned to Florida to be placed in his future presidential library.

Trump, a frequent and vocal critic of Smith, took another victory lap Friday evening over the ousted prosecutor, telling followers on his Truth Social platform: "The Department of Justice has just returned the boxes that Deranged Jack Smith made such a big deal about."

Former special counsel Jack Smith joined more than 900 federal prosecutors in signing a letter that warned President Donald Trump could eliminate a Watergate-era office that fights corruption at the Department of Justice.

"Like you, each of us devoted years of our professional lives to pursuing justice on behalf of the American people," the letter said. "As prosecutors, we were rightly prohibited from making criminal charging decisions based on someone's political association, activities or beliefs, or because of our personal feelings about them. We knew it was impermissible to treat a defendant more leniently just because they were powerful or well-connected, or more harshly because they were not."

House Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Wednesday refused to rule out calling special counsel Jack Smith to testify on Capitol Hill.

The latest warning from Jordan, who has long lobbed threats at Smith as he spearheaded multiple criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump, came Wednesday.

Special counsel Jack Smith, who spearheaded multiple criminal cases against Donald Trump, has reportedly resigned from the Department of Justice.

Smith was rumored to be ready to leave after he formally announced he was wrapping up the federal proceedings against the President-elect. The law forbids federal cases from being pursued against the White House occupant.

Donald Trump had a lot on his mind in the middle of the night less than a week before his return to the White House.

The president-elect issued a series of posts on his Truth Social network between 1:24 a.m. and 1:54 a.m. attacking President Joe Biden and recently resigned special counsel Jack Smith, who issued his hotly-anticipated report on Trump's election interference case about a half hour before the social media spree began.
