  • Federal prosecutors moved Monday to abandon the classified documents case against President-elect Donald Trump in light of longstanding Justice Department policy that says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution.

The article from The Detroit News, published on November 25, 2024, reports that Special Counsel Jack Smith has moved to dismiss the election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump. This decision comes after Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, where he defeated President Joe Biden. The case, which involved allegations of election interference related to the 2020 election, has been a significant point of contention. Smith's motion to dismiss is based on the premise that prosecuting a sitting or incoming president could disrupt the transition of power and potentially destabilize the government. The move has sparked a range of reactions, with Trump's supporters viewing it as vindication, while critics argue it sets a dangerous precedent for presidential accountability. The dismissal, if approved by the court, would effectively end one of the most high-profile legal battles in recent U.S. political history.
