The U.S. Department of Justice is evaluating how to wind down the two federal criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office, according to sources familiar with the matter reported by NBC News. The DOJ's decision aligns with longstanding department policy that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted.
