Some conservatives have raised questions about the impartiality of the newly appointed special council on former President Donald Trump’s case, Jack Smith, after it emerged that his wife donated to President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign and produced a film for former First Lady Michelle Obama.

On Nov. 18 Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith to be special counsel in two probes involving Trump.
