Jack Smith, Former Special Counsel Who Investigated Trump, Raises Eyebrows By Disclosing $140K 'Gift'
Former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith accepted $140,000 worth of free legal services in the last weeks before he resigned.
Smith ran two criminal investigations into
Donald Trump,
both of which were dropped after his election victory, as a sitting president can't be prosecuted.
Smith
resigned on January 10 after Trump boasted he would fire Smith 'within two seconds' of taking office if he won the election.
Before he stepped down, Smith retained outside counsel from Peter Koski at Covington & Burling - the biggest law firm in Washington
DC.
Smith's final public disclosure report included the pro bono legal services under the gifts and travel reimbursements section.

Why Smith needed outside counsel is unclear, but he retained Koski, himself a former DoJ official, amid Trump's escalating rhetoric against political enemies.
