Special Counsel Jack Smith required to submit Trump findings to DOJ before leaving. What happens next?

Special Counsel Jack Smith, who has been investigating former President Donald Trump, is required to submit his findings to the Department of Justice (DOJ) before he can leave his position. This requirement stems from the regulations governing special counsels, which mandate that they provide a report explaining their decisions to prosecute or not prosecute. Following the submission of his report, Attorney General Merrick Garland will review the findings. If the report recommends charges, Garland could decide to accept the recommendations, reject them, or modify them. If there are no charges recommended, the report might still be made public, detailing the investigation's scope and conclusions. This process ensures transparency and accountability in high-profile investigations involving political figures. The next steps could involve public disclosure, further legal actions, or the conclusion of the investigation, depending on the content and recommendations of Smith's report.
