Smith emphasized the rule of law’s bedrock foundation for the U.S. judicial system and his investigation in his statement.
Special counsel Jack Smith delivered a brief public statement Friday hours after a federal indictment was unsealed charging former President Donald Trump with 37 felony counts in connection with his handling of classified records.
“We have one set of laws in this country and they apply to everyone,” Smith said. “Applying those laws, collecting facts, that’s what determines the outcome of an investigation. Nothing more, nothing less.” Alluding to the national security risks caused by Trump’s alleged mishandling, Smith said that laws safeguarding national defense information are “critical to the safety and security of the United States,” and that violations of these laws “put our country at risk.”
