Legal Developments Surrounding Trump
Special Counsel Jack Smith is requesting that a judge dismiss all charges against President-elect Donald Trump, linked to Smith’s investigation into the January 6 U.S. Capitol breach. The request must be approved by Judge Tanya Chutkan before proceeding.
In a related move, Smith has also sought to withdraw his appeal regarding the classified records case against Trump. This case was previously dismissed in July by federal Judge Aileen Cannon, who ruled that Smith was unlawfully appointed.
These legal maneuvers follow the recent reelection of Trump in the 2024 presidential election, indicating a potential winding down of the cases against him. Further details came to light with the filing made public on the Department of Justice’s docket.
