Special counsel Jack Smith has reportedly secured the cooperation of two would-be Trump electors as part of his investigation into the efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Smith has reportedly granted two members of the slate partial immunity, CNN reported, citing sources. The special counsel has already indicted former President Donald Trump over his alleged mishandling of classified documents, but the Jan. 6 probe remains a largely separate effort by his office. It remains unclear if Trump himself is a target in that investigation.
The outlet reported that the prosecutors on the case have recently “played hardball” with witnesses in a bid to secure their speedy testimony before the end of June.
