Prosecutors drop election subversion, classified documents cases against Trump

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed motions to dismiss the federal cases against Donald Trump, citing an official policy of not prosecuting a sitting president. Trump was accused of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The decision marks the end of the federal case against Trump following his recent election victory. This outcome closes the chapter on the most perilous of the many legal challenges Trump has faced. Trump's spokesman has called the end of the proceedings "a major victory for the rule of law."
