Lead prosecutor in Trump classified documents case retires ahead of inauguration

Investing.com — A significant development occurred in the criminal case accusing Donald Trump of illegally retaining classified documents. The lead prosecutor, Jay Bratt, has retired from the U.S. Justice Department, confirmed by a department spokesperson this Monday.

Bratt, a senior national security official, was working closely with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office on the case. His retirement took effect last Friday.

The departure of the lead prosecutor comes ahead of Trump’s return to the presidency, scheduled for Jan. 20. Trump and his allies have previously expressed their intent to investigate political opponents and those who have made allegations of misconduct against him.
