Special prosecutor Jack Smith filed a motion to drop the four felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump in relation to his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, due to a Justice Department policy that prevents the prosecution of a sitting president.
Recently, US District Judge Tanya Chutkan canceled the remaining court deadlines in the case after Smith requested time to assess the unprecedented circumstances following Trump's victory.
Smith had a deadline on Dec. 2 for both the election interference case and the classified document cases against Trump after his team requested more time to determine how to deal with the unprecedented situation of pending federal cases against someone who had just been elected to the presidency.
