Central New York native Jack Smith plans to resign before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, according to multiple reports.

Justice Dept. could drop Donald Trump from the classified document appeal but keep his co-defendants, hoping to reverse Judge Cannon’s special counsel ruling.

According to The New York Times, Special Counsel Jack Smith plans to “get ahead of the president-elect’s promise to fire him within 'two seconds' of being sworn in” by resigning before Trump takes office.
