The Collapse of Anti-Trump Lawfare

Jack Smith has moved to dismiss the 2020 election-interference case against Trump.

Biden-Harris Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith has formally asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to dismiss the so-called January 6 case — the 2020 election-interference prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump.

In consultation with DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), Smith determined that the long-standing DOJ guidance on criminal proceedings against a sitting president dictated that the current indictment in the case be dismissed without prejudice to the potential reindictment of the charges following Trump’s anticipated exit from office in January 2029.
