Story
DOJ and Jack Smith Drop Federal Charges Against President-elect Trump
Nov 8, 2024, 07:00 PM
Special Counsel Jack Smith is withdrawing all federal charges against President-elect Donald Trump due to the Department of Justice's policy against prosecuting a sitting president. Trump, who recently won the presidential election, was facing federal charges for election subversion and unlawfully retaining classified documents. The Justice Department has moved to end the legal cases brought against Trump, and Smith is expected to resign from office. A federal judge, Tanya Chutkan, has granted Smith's request to vacate all remaining pretrial deadlines in Trump's election interference case. Smith's office has set a deadline of December 2 to announce the next steps in the case.
