“A judge granted Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request Monday to drop all charges against President-elect Trump in the federal case over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. … U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan granted Smith’s motion hours after it was filed Monday. She dismissed the case without prejudice, meaning it could be reopened in the future. Smith wrote in the filing seeking the dismissal of the election interference case that while prosecutors’ view of Trump’s alleged crimes has not changed, the circumstances surrounding his looming trial have. Trump’s victory ‘sets at odds two fundamental and compelling national interests,’ Smith wrote: the Constitutional requirement that the president should not be ‘unduly encumbered’ and a commitment to the rule of law.” (11/25/24)
