Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has dismissed all felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump in the federal election interference case, along with the classified documents case. The Justice Department's decision reflects the practical consequences of Trump’s victory and ensures he enters office free from scrutiny over his hoarding of top secret documents and conduct.
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has filed to drop all felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump in the federal election interference case. The Justice Department also said it is abandoning its classified documents case against Trump. The announcement was made in an appeals court filing in Florida. This move signifies the end of a criminal case that was once seen as the most perilous legal threat to Trump.
The dismissal of charges 'ends the unconstitutional federal cases' and is 'a major victory for the rule of law,' according to Trump's Communication Director Steven Cheung. Trump exulted in a post on Truth Social, his social media website, saying he had 'persevered, against all odds, and WON.' The judge in the election case granted prosecutors' request for dismissal, while a decision in the documents case was still pending on Monday afternoon. This move marks the end of the Justice Department's efforts to hold Trump accountable for a criminal conspiracy to cling to power in the run-up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021
