Jack Smith Attorneys Fired by Trump Launch New Law Firm

Two federal prosecutors fired by President Donald Trump after working on special counsel Jack Smith’s legal team investigating the commander in chief have founded a new law firm to fight corruption.

Molly Gaston and JP Cooney created a boutique firm in Washington, D.C., to do much of what they did for the Justice Department — but now in private practice.

“We will offer a unique combination of services, including public integrity counsel to state and local governments, strategic representation at every stage of criminal and congressional investigations, and trial-ready representation in criminal and civil matters,” Cooney wrote in a blog post on LinkedIn.

“We are delighted to join the emerging market of specialist firms offering independent representation and zealous advocacy,” he added.

The two men were part of Smith’s legal team investigating possible election interference and allegations that Trump moved classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago residence. The charges against Trump were dropped when he took office in January.

They were later fired, along with several others who worked on the Smith lawsuits, with termination letters saying they could not be trusted to “faithfully implement” the president’s agenda, the Wall Street Journal reported.

“We conducted a thorough and effective investigation in very difficult circumstances. The simple fact is that we ran out of time,” Cooney told the newspaper. “It’s unfortunate because it would have been good for the country to resolve these matters in court.”

The new law firm will handle corruption and civil rights cases.

“In the wake of the federal government’s decision to significantly reduce enforcement of public corruption and civil rights laws, we are helping state and local governments fill the gap,” says a fact sheet on the company’s website.

Smith recently stood by his 2023 decision to subpoena several Republican lawmakers’ phone records, calling the move “entirely appropriate” and consistent with Ministry of Justice policy.

In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, Snith said through his lawyers that subpoenaed data, known as toll records, belonging to eight senators and one House member were carefully targeted to support his investigation into Trump’s alleged subversion of the 2020 election.

“As described by various Senators, the collection of toll data was narrowly tailored and limited to the four days of January 4, 2021, through January 7, 2021, with a focus on telephone activity during the period immediately surrounding the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol,” Smith’s lawyers wrote to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on Tuesday.
