Trump's DOJ Targets Jack Smith in Epstein Distraction - Glenn Kirschner Insight

As the pressure mounts from the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell scandal, Donald Trump appears to be grasping for political distractions. Today’s latest move? Trump’s Department of Justice is launching an investigation into none other than former Special Counsel Jack Smith.

In this video, legal analyst Glenn Kirschner unpacks the new announcement from the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which has opened a probe into Smith for alleged Hatch Act violations. This comes amid growing scrutiny over how Trump and his DOJ are handling the fallout of the Epstein investigation—especially after cozying up to Maxwell, a convicted sex offender and Epstein's co-conspirator.

Senator Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) request to investigate Jack Smith adds fuel to the fire, but is this just another attempt by Trump to distract from his own mounting legal troubles? After all, Trump's pattern is consistent: point fingers at enemies like Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, or even Barack Obama—without any actual indictments or evidence.

Glenn dives into how the justice system works—and how Trump continues to confuse the court of public opinion with a court of law. He reminds viewers that Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts in New York, showing the real difference between political rhetoric and judicial truth.

With MAGA support eroding and congressional allies turning on him, Trump's distractions seem increasingly desperate. But will this new attack on Jack Smith work? Or is it just more smoke and mirrors to dodge the Epstein-Maxwell fire?

Because in the end, justice matters. - Glenn Kirschner - 08/04/2025.
