Top DOJ Prosecutor in Jack Smith’s Trump Probe Steps Down Amid Scandal
SHARE

Jay Bratt, a senior Justice Department official who played a key role in the Mar-a-Lago raid and investigations into former President Donald Trump, abruptly resigned from his position last week.

The resignation has not been officially announced by the Justice Department but was reported by SpyTalk journalist Michael Isikoff, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter.

Bratt, a career prosecutor who served as chief of the Counterintelligence and Export Controls Section in the DOJ’s National Security Division, was closely involved in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump.

His role included spearheading the controversial raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, which sought classified documents allegedly retained by the former president.

You can run, Jay Bratt.

But you can’t hide.

You’re the biggest snake of them all.

You orchestrated the illegal Mar-a-Lago raid.

To coverup Crossfire Hurricane—the biggest scandal in American history.

Justice is coming.

Nobody is above the law.

Lawyer up, buttercup. https://t.co/tidnehOr4J

Bratt’s departure comes amidst accusations of misconduct during his tenure. Reports have surfaced alleging Bratt tampered with evidence and attempted to intimidate legal counsel representing Trump’s associates.

One of the most serious allegations against Bratt involves his conduct toward Stanley Woodward, the attorney representing Walt Nauta, a valet driver and aide to Trump who has been implicated in the classified documents case.

According to court filings and reports from RealClearInvestigations journalist Paul Sperry, Bratt allegedly attempted to pressure Woodward into persuading Nauta to testify against Trump.

During a meeting at the Justice Department, Bratt reportedly presented Woodward with a folder of personal information and referenced his potential judicial nomination. “I wouldn’t want you to do anything to mess that up,” Bratt allegedly told Woodward, according to unsealed court records.

The incident led to a formal complaint of prosecutorial misconduct being filed under seal in a Washington, D.C., court.

Jack Smith and Jay Bratt think that they are above the law, and they keep proving they are nothing more than partisan clowns.

The Justice Department was forced to respond to the allegations, raising questions about ethical practices within the investigation.

Bratt’s resignation has been described as a significant event by insiders, with some viewing it as a sign of potential upheaval within the Justice Department.

Sources quoted by SpyTalk suggest that Bratt’s departure could signal the beginning of an exodus of seasoned government lawyers and FBI agents as the political landscape shifts.

The resignation also comes as former President Trump prepares to return to the White House.

Trump has announced his intention to appoint loyalists to key positions, including Pam Bondi as Attorney General and Kash Patel as FBI Director.

These developments have reportedly caused concern among career officials in the DOJ and FBI.

In a new twist, former President Trump has announced that Stanley Woodward, the attorney involved in the allegations against Bratt, will serve as a top legal advisor in Trump’s administration.

Yep.

Now Stanley Woodward is President Trump’s incoming White House senior counselor.

Trump just announced that yesterday.

Then Jay Bratt resigned today.

Weird.

It’s almost like the hunters have become the hunted. https://t.co/BSjHBGJMU9

With Bratt’s resignation and ongoing investigations into Trump, the spotlight remains on the Justice Department’s handling of politically charged cases.

Bratt’s departure raises questions about the future of the DOJ’s National Security Division and the broader implications for ongoing investigations involving Trump and his associates.

As the political climate intensifies, the Justice Department’s role and leadership will remain under scrutiny.
