Former special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday said that under President Donald Trump, "We are facing an attack on the rule of law," and that he is "very concerned about what's going to happen next election"

Smith also said that a potential indictment of him by the Department of Justice "could happen" given Trump's animus toward him for prosecuting the president in two separate criminal cases before Trump returned to the White House.

Smith told Nicolle Wallace on MS NOW's "Deadline: White House" that "it angers me" to see public servants "demonized for doing their jobs" by the Trump administration for their work on cases seen as hostile to the president and his allies or for other reasons.

"I think it's really important that we stand up for them and let them know that there are a lot of people out there who back them and who are with them, and that's not just the people who have been who've been targeted and fired for no reason for doing their jobs," he said.
