Jack Smith's Legal Battle with Trump Ends Amid Controversy and Political Fallout

TL;DR Summary
Efforts to prosecute Donald Trump for his actions during his first term have largely failed, resulting in a Supreme Court ruling that grants former presidents immunity from prosecution for their 'official acts.' This decision has made it more difficult to hold Trump accountable for his actions and has set a precedent that could protect future presidents from legal consequences. Critics argue that the Justice Department should have acted more swiftly to prosecute Trump, which might have allowed for a more precise legal definition of 'official acts.'
