- On Saturday, the Office of Special Counsel confirmed an investigation is underway into Jack Smith for potential Hatch Act violations.
- Calling Smith 'a political actor masquerading as a public official', Cotton urged the OSC to investigate for alleged Hatch Act violations, accusing him of interference in the 2024 election.
- Separately from DOJ special counsels, the Office of Special Counsel cannot bring criminal charges but can impose disciplinary actions or refer findings to the Department of Justice.
- In response, Trump called the prosecutions politically motivated and accused the Justice Department of weaponization.
- In a broader pattern, the OSC probe follows recent FBI investigations into James Comey and John Brennan, highlighting a series of actions by Trump and his allies against critics.
