The law prohibits criminal charges against a sitting president. And previously opened cases won’t have time to be brought to court before Trump’s inauguration.

US Special Counsel Jack Smith is dropping two federal criminal charges against President-elect Donald Trump, as required by law, CNN reported on Monday, November 25.

It was noted that the cases of Trump’s storage of secret documents and his attempts to subvert the results of the 2020 election were closed.

The US Justice Department has agreed that the cases will not be completed or brought to trial before Trump returns to the presidency next January. The closure of criminal cases is required by law, which prohibits the initiation of criminal cases against a sitting president.

The dismissal of the charges marks the end of a year-long legal battle between Trump and special counsel Jack Smith and demonstrates Trump’s extraordinary ability to waive charges that would sink the candidacy of any other candidate. in the presidency.

The Office of Legal Counsel decided in 1973 clarifying that a sitting president cannot be impeached. The Supreme Court recently expanded this philosophy and determined that former presidents also retain broad immunity.

Let’s remember that last year Trump was indicted on seven counts under the Espionage Act. It stems from the improper storage of classified documents at his Florida residence after he left the presidency in 2021.

Before this, 11 sets of secret documents were confiscated from Trump during the search.
