However, the sources told Fox News Digital that Thibault took the action to open the investigation and involve Trump, despite not being authorized to open criminal investigations in their role, only special agents have the authority to open criminal investigations .

Another email, sent the same day, points out that it would seek the approval of Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI director Christopher Wray to open the case.

Based on Smith, Grassley and Johnson’s scope, in 2022, they wrote that Thibult-Pilger’s investigation was included in the jurisdiction of the special lawyer.

They also pointed out that Smith had a previous relationship with Pilger. Smith was in charge of the Public Integrity Unit of the Department of Justice, while Pilger was in charge of the branch of electoral crimes.
