New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik filed an ethics complaint with the Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility on Tuesday against Biden Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith for abusing federal government resources to interfere with the 2024 presidential election illegally.
In a release, Stefaniki said, “It’s obvious to any reasonable observer that Jack Smith is trying to interfere with the 2024 election and stop the American people from electing Donald Trump. At every turn, he has sought to accelerate his illegal prosecution of President Trump for the clear (if unstated) purpose of trying him before the November election. The Justice Department’s own policies clearly prohibit Smith from doing so, and as a DOJ employee he is bound by those policies. Moreover, when the district court imposed a stay on the proceedings, Smith and his office ignored it and continued to file discovery documents. Smith’s conduct has brought disrepute to the Department of Justice and the entire federal government, and the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility should impose the discipline that such conduct warrants.”
