Smith has served in an array of legal roles in Missouri, including as the deputy counsel for the state’s governor and deputy attorney general for special litigation, according to his LinkedIn profile.
“Justin also played a BIG role in securing a Supreme Court Landmark Victory on Presidential Immunity. He is a true America First Fighter, who will continue to deliver strong results for the American People,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
