The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has begun an investigation into Jack Smith, the former special counsel who led the Biden Department of Justice’s classified documents and Jan. 6 cases against President Donald Trump.

According to multiple reports, the OSC, an independent federal agency, is investigating Smith over alleged violations of the 1939 Hatch Act, which limits certain political activities of federal workers.
