Donald Trump's criminal defense lawyers have criticized special counsel Jack Smith in a recent letter to the Justice Department.
The lawyers accused Smith of unethical behavior and leaking sensitive details about the investigation into Trump’s handling of classified materials.
With Trump’s election victory, the accusations hold more weight, marking an escalation in their legal strategy.
Trump's attorneys, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, are set to assume high-ranking roles in the Justice Department, potentially allowing them to influence Smith's actions.
This unprecedented situation raises concerns about using the Justice Department for political retribution against perceived opponents.
