  • Donald Trump has promised revenge and retribution against special counsel Jack Smith after the appointed prosecutor was brought into the Justice Department to investigate suspected crimes from the ex-president.

The article from MSN discusses concerns among Special Counsel Jack Smith's team about potential retribution from former President Donald Trump if he were to return to office. According to the report, Trump has privately suggested targeting not only Smith but also extending his threats to include Smith's family members, specifically mentioning Smith's spouse. This fear stems from Trump's history of attacking prosecutors and their families, as seen in his previous comments about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his family. The article highlights that such threats could potentially influence the legal proceedings against Trump, including cases related to election interference and mishandling classified documents. It also notes that Trump's rhetoric has escalated, with him publicly stating that if re-elected, he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate President Joe Biden and his family, indicating a pattern of using legal avenues for political revenge.
