WASHINGTON — The office of special counsel Jack Smith spent nearly $5.5 million in under five months as it investigated both Donald Trump's handling of classified documents and the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to expenditure reports disclosed Friday by the Justice Department.
The DOJ also released the most recent expenses for two other special counsels investigating other matters: Robert Hur, who is examining President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents, and John Durham, whose investigation into the origins of the Russia probe wrapped up in May.
Smith's office has thus far returned indictments against Trump and his longtime aide, Walt Nauta, on charges related to the retention of classified documents. Both have pleaded not guilty. Nearly $2 million was spent on contractual services, including IT services, transcripts, and"litigation/investigative support," said the report.
Hur, the DOJ's most recent appointment as special counsel, spent more than $600,000 in his first ten weeks investigating Biden's handling of classified documents. The bulk of Hur's expenditures, from his appointment in mid-January through March 31, went toward staff compensation and rent, communications, and utilities.Durham spent just under $1 million during his final six months as special counsel, raising the total sum of his three-year probe to around $7.5 million.
