Jack Smith's special counsel status is unconstitutional, former attorney general tells SCOTUS
One of the legal experts who joined the former attorney general previously wrote an op-ed in The New York Times calling for Trump to be convicted in the Senate after Jan. 6.

"Unlike a U.S. Attorney, however, private citizen Jack Smith has not been nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate for the particular office of Special Counsel, which he now holds," [Calabresi] wrote.
"Jack Smith's appointment to be Special Counsel was unconstitutional, and every action that he has taken since his appointment is now null and void."
