Agency Scrutinizes Jack Smith After Republican Complaint
An agency that scrutinizes the conduct of federal employees has opened an investigation into Jack Smith, the former special counsel who investigated Donald J. Trump before he returned to office, following a request by a Republican senator. The Office of Special Counsel confirmed on Saturday that it had opened an investigation into Mr. Smith for a possible violation of the Hatch Act, a law that prohibits federal workers from using their government jobs to engage in political activity. Senator Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas, had asked the agency to investigate on the premise that some of Mr. Smith's actions, such as seeking quick trial dates in the two criminal cases against Mr. Trump, were designed to influence the 2024 election. The investigation, which was first reported by The New York Post, is unusual in several respects. First, the most severe penalty possible for a Hatch Act violation is dismissal from federal employment, and Mr. Smith left the government at the start of the year. Second, the type of prosecutorial decisions criticized by Mr. Cotton, Mr. Trump and others are far different from the type of cases the O.S.C. typically handles. The office traditionally investigates and addresses violations of federal rules about the civil service. The investigation comes at a time when lawyers representing fired or demoted federal employees have complained that under Mr. Trump, the O.S.C. is not fulfilling its traditional role. In February, the president dismissed the agency's head, Hampton Dellinger, despite a federal law saying that person can only be fired for 'inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.' At the time, Mr. Dellinger had been arguing for the reinstatement of thousands of probationary workers who had been fired by the new administration.

2 Twin Cities teens in custody after state patrol chopper helps track stolen SUV, police say
Two 17-year-old boys suspected of stealing an SUV in the Twin Cities Friday are in custody due to a multi-agency effort, including the help of a Minnesota State Patrol helicopter. Police in West St. Paul, Minnesota, said its officers spotted a Dodge Durango, which had just been reported stolen, on Robert Street South near Butler Avenue at about 10:40 p.m. The driver fled police, who were able to call in the state patrol for help. Their aerial crew soon spotted the SUV, allowing for officers to end their ground pursuit. Police say the crew tracked the SUV to St. Paul's North End neighborhood, observing two people exit the vehicle and go into a home off Farrington Street and Stinson Street West. Law enforcement "were able to eventually enter the home and take the two suspects into custody," police said, with the help of St. Paul officers and Ramsey County Sheriff's deputies. "Thanks to the assisting agencies which allowed us to track and make an apprehension while minimizing risk to the community, officers, and the suspects," police said. The boys are being held in the Dakota County Juvenile Services Center.
