The Justice Department has turned its focus to Democrats and former Biden officials as it grapples with the fallout of its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel confirmed Saturday that it has opened an investigation into former Special Counsel Jack Smith and whether he violated the Hatch Act through his criminal investigations into President Donald Trump.

Trump has long been clear about how he feels about the man who prosecuted him, calling Jack Smith a "scoundrel." Now Smith is under investigation.
