💨 Abstract

Jack Smith, former special counsel, is being investigated by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) for alleged political activity violations under the Hatch Act. This investigation follows allegations from former President Donald Trump and other Republicans, though no specific evidence has been presented. The OSC lacks the power to press criminal charges but can recommend disciplinary actions. Senator Tom Cotton has called for investigations into Smith's alleged interference in the 2024 elections.
