NextImg:Justice Department Dropping Its Classified Documents Case Against Trump
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Special counsel Jack Smith moved to drop the Justice Department’s appeal in President-elect Donald Trump’s classified documents case.

The move, announced in a court filing Monday, aligns with the longstanding DOJ policy of not criminally prosecuting sitting presidents.

The decision comes shortly after Smith also filed a motion to dismiss the 2020 election interference case against Trump. Last week, the judge overseeing Trump’s hush money trial canceled the upcoming sentencing hearing without immediately setting a new date.

In a shock ruling in July, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, dismissed the classified documents case after it dragged out far longer than legal experts expected. Smith quickly filed an appeal challenging Cannon’s ruling that his appointment to the case was unconstitutional because it did not go through Congress.
