Special Counsel Jack Smith has revealed in a recent court filing that the Washington grand jury in the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump has ended, after the judge challenged the special counsel over his use of an out-of-state grand jury.

While Mr. Smith empaneled a grand jury in Miami to indict President Trump in Florida, the special counsel was also using an out-of-state grand jury in Washington, possibly in hopes of adding charges in the case, which accuses the former president of inappropriately keeping national defense secrets at his Mar-a-Lago home.
