House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is demanding an ethics investigation into Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, accusing him of attempting to expedite former President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 criminal case in order to interfere with the 2024 election. 

In an ethics complaint submitted on Tuesday, Stefanik accused Smith of pushing for an accelerated trial in violation of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, which the chairwoman argued was a “lawless breach of trial ethics.” The complaint demands an investigation into Smith for possible misconduct and unlawful interference with the election.
