February 11, 2026 at 7:21 am EST By Taegan Goddard
“The former top deputy to Jack Smith, the special prosecutor who twice indicted Donald Trump, is expected to announce on Wednesday that he is running for Congress in Virginia, pitching himself as the only Democrat who actually prosecuted the president,” the New York Times reports.
“J.P. Cooney, a veteran of the public corruption division of the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, was fired in January 2025, after Mr. Trump purged all prosecutors associated with Mr. Smith.”
