Attorneys who aided in Donald Trump’s efforts to reverse the results of the 2020 presidential election have reportedly come under increasing scrutiny from the office of Special counsel Jack Smith.
Prosecutors from Smith’s team have interviewed Trump’s one-time personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani for about eight hours; issued inquiries centered on Sidney Powell, a pro-Trump lawyer who spread election misinformation; and questioned Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, about Giuliani, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Smith has been tasked with leading Justice Department inquiries into Trump’s treatment of classified documents and his role inspiring the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The classified documents probe produced a 37-count indictment against Trump in Florida last month.
