According to CNN, US Special Attorney Jack Smith said on Monday that he will drop the subversive election case against President-elect Trump and seek the dismissal of the case in a court document submitted to the judge. Trump has said that once he takes office, Smith will be fired, breaking previous practices regarding special prosecutors' investigations. Smith wrote in a six-page document: “The Department of Justice's position is that, as required by the Constitution, the case needs to be dropped before the defendant is sworn in.” Smith's criminal pursuit of Trump over the past two years on charges of trying to disrupt the 2020 presidential election and his improper handling of confidential documents is a very unique chapter in US history: no former White House owner has faced federal criminal charges before.
