Special Counsel Pauses Trump Election Case Amid Uncertain Future

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion to vacate all deadlines in the 2020 election interference case against President-elect Trump, aligning with DOJ policy against charging a sitting president. While the case isn't officially dropped, it seems to be heading that way, with an update expected on December 2. This development follows Trump's re-election and his vow to dismiss Smith. The DOJ is reportedly winding down its cases against Trump, citing policy against investigating a sitting president. Trump still faces state cases in Georgia and New York.
