President Elect Donald Trump is reportedly set to try to fire the lawyers who worked with the Special Counsel Jack Smith investigating the former president for his alleged mishandling of classified documents and for his connection with the Capitol riot.

Those affected are likely to include career professionals are usually protected from such revenge attempts, according to Washington Post.

Trump is also set on putting groups together to look for evidence that the 2020 election was full of fraud.

“President Trump campaigned to fire rogue bureaucrats who have engaged in the illegal weaponization of our American justice system, and the American people can expect him to keep that promise,” Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the newspaper. “One of the many reasons President Trump won the election in a landslide is that Americans are tired of seeing their tax dollars spent targeting political enemies of the Biden-Harris administration rather than going after real violent criminals on our streets. “

“President Trump and his transition team are speaking for him, and anonymous sources not affiliated with him have no idea what they’re talking about,” she added.

The president-elect still speaks regularly about the 2020 election, convinced it was stolen from him in key swing states, and he has remained steadfast in his belief that Smith’s investigation into how he tried to overturn the results and his alleged mishandling of classified documents amounted to a weaponization of the government for which he now seeks revenge.

A person familiar with the plans said The mail that the notion of assembling teams of investigators in key swing states is less formed and not at the top of the list of priorities. But Trump seems hell-bent on getting rid of someone at the Justice Department who he believes came after him.

“For too long, the partisan Justice Department has been a weapon against me and other Republicans,” Trump said in his statement announcing his new pick for Attorney General Pam Bondi following the resignation of Matt Gaetz.

“Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ on its intended purpose of fighting crime and making America safe again,” he added.

Smith will reveal in court filings Dec. 2 how he plans to close the cases against Trump in accordance with the department’s policy not to prosecute sitting presidents.

Trump passed an executive order before leaving office known as Schedule F, which reclassified a huge number of career government employees, simplifying the process of removing them.

While President Joe Biden reversed that order and increased protections for career workers, Trump has said he plans to reinstate Schedule F. But even if he succeeds, legal observers said The mail that it could take years for it to go through the courts.

Smith’s office is made up of attorneys, FBI agents and support staff from across the Justice Department. Most are career employees from the Justice Department’s headquarters in downtown Washington, DC, or from US attorneys’ offices across the United States

In previous Special Agents, such attorneys have typically returned to their regular jobs once their temporary assignment is complete. Some members of the Smith team have already gone back to their regular jobs, according to The mail. Meanwhile, some departments have not been told when their employees can return.

Although Trump has indicated he may try to prosecute officials at the state level, he and his allies have been unable to provide evidence of fraud.

He wrote in September that there was “pervasive cheating” in 2020 and that those responsible would be “prosecuted to the full extent of the law, which will include lengthy prison terms.”

On Truth Social, he wrote “Please be aware that this legal exposure extends to lawyers, political operatives, donors, illegal voters and corrupt election officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately never before seen in our country.”
