According to the information, the relevant materials were filed with the US District Court in Washington on Monday.
Judge Tani Chutkan officially closed the election case without the possibility of reopening it.
The decision follows a Supreme Court ruling this summer that found that Trump enjoys some immunity from prosecution for actions related to his presidential powers. Smith noted that the dismissal does not reflect the merits or strength of the charges, but the Constitution requires such a result.
Trump, who recently returned to the presidency, had previously called the investigations politically motivated and announced his intention to fire Smith. His spokesman, Steven Cheng, called the dismissal of the cases a “victory for the rule of law” and called for an end to the “politicization of the justice system.
Despite the closure of key cases, the controversy over Trump's actions continues to spark political and public debate.
