Mr. Smith is not the first special counsel to investigate Mr. Trump.
Mr. Smith, by contrast, faces no such limits given that Mr. Trump is no longer in office.
Mr. Mueller said little when faced with a barrage of falsehoods pushed publicly by Mr. Trump and his allies about him and his investigative team.
During Mr. Trump’s arraignment in Miami in June, Mr. Smith sat in the gallery, closely watching the proceedings.
Some in the courtroom suggested he stared at Mr. Trump for much of the hearing, sizing him up.
