Former special counsel Jack Smith sat for an exclusive interview with MS NOW on Thursday, telling host Nicolle Wallace that he feels “terrible” about how FBI agents who worked for him are being treated by the Trump administration.
FBI Director Kash Patel has fired a dozen or so agents and staff who worked with Smith on his investigations into Donald Trump, including the classified documents case and Trump’s alleged involvement in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
“FBI agents that worked for you have been savaged by Donald Trump and Kash Patel. At least one agent talked about being fired while he was taking care of his very, very sick wife. What did you expect to happen to these agents, and do you regret putting any of them in that position?” Wallace asked.
“I feel terrible about what has happened to them,” Smith answered. “If there’s one thing I’ve spent my time on since leaving my work as special counsel is doing what I can to help and support them.”
Smith continued:
The individual you’re talking about, his, he was nursing his wife who was dying of cancer, and they fired him shortly after she died. I went to the funeral. That funeral was filled with heroes. Public servants on both families. And I just can’t believe that if people knew the character of these people I worked with, that they could ever stand for the demonizing that’s happened to them. It’s just beyond anything I can understand.
Wallace, who served in the George W. Bush administration, said, “My sense from from my limited exposure to people in DOJ and the FBI from my time in government is, they don’t really want to go do other things. They want this to be their life’s work, protecting the country’s national security.” Will you talk a little bit about the the price people have paid who have been purged for political purposes?” Wallace asked.
“Yeah. I mean, you know, a lot of the agents and prosecutors I’ve worked with — and to be clear, not just in special counsel’s office, but throughout my career and a bunch of different positions I’ve had in the Justice Department — this is the culmination of what they wanted to do,” Smith said. “It’s why they went to law school, and it’s their way of serving our country.”
“And one thing I have hope about is, I think the traditions in the department, the people, are so strong that we’re going to have to rehabilitate the department, for sure,” Smith added. “But there’s a lot of people still there, still in place, wanting to do the right thing, wanting to follow the facts in the law, not be a part of any retribution campaign.”
