Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has decided to drop the case against US President-elect Donald Trump for allegedly conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election, AFP reports.
In a document to the district judge presiding over the case, Smith said it should be dismissed in light of the Justice Department's policy of not prosecuting a sitting president.
Donald Trump's team described as a "major victory" the move by special prosecutor Jack Smith.
"Today's decision by the Department of Justice puts an end to unconstitutional federal lawsuits against President Trump and is a major victory for the rule of law," said its communications director Stephen Cheung in a statement. | BGNES
