President Trump dismissed claims of targeting related to special counsel Jack Smith, citing his own history of investigations. Trump ordered the suspension of security clearances for lawyers at Covington & Burling, who represented Smith. This is part of Trump’s broader campaign against figures involved in previous criminal cases against him, emphasising the ‘weaponization of the judicial process.’
