Smith resigned Friday, according to a court filing on Saturday that noted his departure in a footnote.

His resignation was widely expected following Trump's reelection in November, as both his cases against the president-elect were dismissed due to a longstanding Department of Justice policy prohibiting the prosecution of a sitting president.

Trump repeatedly vowed he would fire Smith upon taking office and has said Smith should be "thrown out of the country."
