Jack Smith Withdraws From Florida Case, Refers Case to U.S. Attorney for Southern District of Florida

A few moments ago, Jack Smith and his co-counsel filed a motion to withdraw from the Florida case:

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 27 and Eleventh Circuit Rule 27-1, the United States of America moves to withdraw from this case the following attorneys: Jay I. Bratt, David V. Harbach, II, James I. Pearce, John M. Pellettieri, and Cecil W. VanDevender. Those attorneys are associated with the Special Counsel's Office, which initiated the criminal prosecution from which this appeal arose. The Special Counsel has now referred this case to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida, which has separately entered an appearance.

The motion did not state whether the defendants oppose the withdrawal.
