Special Counsel Jack Smith has spent the past several years attempting to prosecute former President Donald Trump on a variety of charges.

However, the former president recently suggested that Smith could end up in a courtroom as a defendant. 

"Now it is my time to sue"

According to Newsweek, Trump's words came in the form of a Truth Social post that the former president put up on Monday.

"Somebody please explain to Rep. James Clyburn, not the brightest bulb in the House, that I am beating the Biden/Harris Prosecutors, like Deranged Jack Smith, whose case against me in Florida, 'the biggest of them all' according to the Radical Left Lunatics, was just 'thrown out' as being Unconstitutional," Trump wrote.

"Now it is my time to sue them for illegally breaking into, and raiding, Mar-a-Lago," the former president went on to declare.

He concluded by saying, "All of these Biden/Harris cases against me are a Weaponization of Justice against their Political Opponent, Me — Strictly Third World Country. MAGA2024!"

Judge ruled that Smith's appointment was unconstitutional

"She is well equipped to prosecute... the case against Donald Trump," Clyburn told MSNBC's "Morning Joe," adding, "He has lost against all of the prosecutors he's gone up against this far [and] he's gonna lose to this one."

Meanwhile, Trump's comments concerning Smith reference the fact that Judge Aileen Cannon threw out charges that the special counsel brought against him over his handling of classified documents.

Fox News reported earlier this month that Cannon dismissed the case on the grounds that Smith's appointment violated the Constitution's Appointments Clause.

It states, "Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States be appointed by the President subject to the advice and consent of the Senate, although Congress may vest the appointment of inferior officers in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."

Unclear what basis of lawsuit against Smith would be

Smith was also dealt a legal setback by the Supreme Court early this month in a case concerning Trump's behavior following the 2020 election.

The nation's highest judicial body ruled that a president's official actions enjoy presumptive immunity from prosecution.

However, Newsweek pointed out that it is not clear on what grounds Trump would sue Smith, particularly since the special counsel did not join the documents case until after federal agents raided Trump's home.
