From NBC News: Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion to drop all four felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump in connection with his effort to overturn his 2020 presidential election in the lead-up to the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S Capitol.
Trump was first indicted on four felonies in August 2023: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. The case was then put on hold for months as Trump’s team argued that Trump could not be prosecuted.
The indictment marked an extraordinary moment in American history — the first-ever accusation that a president sought illegally to cling to power.
The dismissal also marks a historic moment. Fifty years after Richard Nixon was forced by lawmakers from both parties to resign the presidency amid allegations of criminal conduct, half of American voters will return Trump to the presidency despite his own serious charges of criminal misconduct in office.
Before the case can be officially dismissed, Judge Tanya Chutkan will need to approve Smith’s request.
Smith and his team reportedly plan to resign before Trump takes office on January 20.
Fox News reported:
The high court ruled that Trump was immune from prosecution for official presidential acts, forcing Smith to file a new indictment. Trump pleaded not guilty to those new charges, too. Trump’s attorneys have been seeking to have the election interference charges dropped in Washington, D.C., alleging that Smith was appointed unlawfully.
Real Clear Investigations journalist Julie Kelly announced, “In a final act of partisanship and poor legal judgement, Jack Smith dismisses the J6 case “without prejudice” to keep alive Trump haters hope this garbage case can somehow be resurrected when he leaves office. Smith is such a dirtbag.”
