On Monday, a U.S. judge dismissed a federal criminal case accusing Donald Trump of trying to undo his 2020 election defeat. Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan followed the recommendations of Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, who decided to follow a policy adopted more than 50 years ago by the Department of Justice and not prosecute the president-elect.
For reference
The Department has had a policy of not prosecuting a sitting president since 1973, at the height of the Watergate scandal, but the case of Trump, who was elected president after being prosecuted, is unprecedented.
The final victory
Donald Trump can now continue his political activities without facing serious charges. The day before , Special Prosecutor Jack Smith emphasized in his motion that the ban on prosecution is “categorical” and does not depend on “the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the evidence presented by the government, or the merits of the charges.
This confirms a major legal victory for the Republican president-elect. Donald Trump gained an advantage in the race for the US presidency in the November 5 election. He is due to return to office on January 20.
