Jack Smith Drops All Federal Cases Against Donald Trump

The US Department of Justice, led by special counsel Jack Smith, is moving to drop two federal criminal cases against Donald Trump, citing a policy against prosecuting a sitting president. This decision follows Trump's re-election and involves cases related to election interference and mishandling classified documents. While the cases against Trump are being dismissed, proceedings will continue against his co-defendants. The move marks an end to the unprecedented attempt to prosecute a former president, which some Democrats hoped would impact Trump's popularity.
