Trump election interference case to be dropped by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

On Friday, Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion to postpone all deadlines in the 2020 election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. Although this move was anticipated, it does not mean the case against him will be dropped entirely.

The filing from Smith was anticipated after Trump's re-election, and aligns with the Department of Justice's policy of not pursuing criminal charges against a sitting president.

Although the case against Trump has not been officially dropped, it seems to be heading in that direction. Smith announced on Friday that his team will provide an updated report on the status of the case on Dec. 2.

Trump's legal foe and the criminal charges he faced following his 2020 election loss are likely to be resolved with the news.

In 2022, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith to investigate allegations that Trump and his allies attempted to overturn the 2020 election results and that Trump kept allegedly classified documents at his Florida residence after leaving the White House in 2020.

Earlier this week, Planet Chronicle reported that the Department of Justice had been considering ending its criminal investigations against Trump in D.C. and Florida due to a memo from the Office of Legal Counsel stating that it is against DOJ policy to investigate a sitting president for federal criminal charges and violates the separation of powers doctrine.

Earlier this year, charges were brought against Trump in D.C. by Smith, accusing the former president of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.

Trump was also charged with federal offenses in Florida for his mishandling of classified information following his departure from the presidency.

Earlier this week, former Attorney General Bill Barr advised Planet Chronicle Digital that Smith should promptly stop the federal cases in both D.C. and Florida, based on DOJ policy.

Despite Trump's ongoing legal battles in Georgia and New York, Barr advised local prosecutors and judges to abandon the "theatrical" pursuit of the president-elect.

Barr stated that any additional maneuvering on these cases in the upcoming weeks would serve no legitimate purpose and only divert the country and the incoming administration from their primary task.

The presiding judge in the New York case is expected to decide whether to proceed with felony conviction proceedings against Trump in the final months before he takes office or to apply claims of presidential immunity expanded by the Supreme Court earlier this year.
