Opinion | I'm Trump's former lawyer. Jack Smith should be celebrated, not vilified.
John Dowd: Jack Smith was once my adversary in a high-profile investigation of a Republican client. Smith was fair, impartial and fearlessly committed to the facts and the law.

Through decades of research, HepB vaccine at birth has already been demonstrated be safe and effective, and has in the U.S. reduced childhood HepB infection by 99% since it was implemented.

WOW: In a special election for Kentucky State Senate District 37, Democrat Gary Clemons has won with a staggering 72.5% of the vote, defeating Republican Calvin Leach, who received 25%.
Harris won the district by 6, so Clemons outperformed the 2024 results by roughly 42 points.

![Prosecutors intend to call up to 25 witnesses, and nearly a dozen have testified so far. FBI Agents Jeffrey Baker and Jackling are among those who were designated to ICE from the bureau. Asked whether he considered the reassignment a “downgrade” from his prior national security and anti-gang beat, Baker denied that was the case.
Other members of the team previously worked on more serious cases than that of Flores-Ruiz: Customs and Border Protection supervisory agent Joseph Zuraw said he spent nearly a decade on the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Vasconcellos had the battle scars of the violent cases to which he was assigned.
“During the course of my duties, I’ve been shot at, I’ve been stabbed,” Vasconcellos said, adding a litany of other troubling encounters. “I’ve had nerve damage in my neck from fighting with individuals [targeted for arrest].”
Although charged with domestic abuse, Flores-Ruiz faced only misdemeanor charges, and he was met with a six member arrest team flanked by FBI drivers and surveillance. Those agents chatted during the operation in a Signal chat room called “Frozen Water,” indicating ICE.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreicgxlqiihcbmud42x3izduyretcg3x5ulbm2v5x2g62lnh2rf5f2u@jpeg)
