Jack Smith files to drop Jan. 6 charges against Donald Trump
SUMMARY: Special counsel Jack Smith has requested to drop all four felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump was indicted in August 2023 for conspiracy and obstruction related to the January 6 Capitol attack. The dismissal highlights significant historical parallels to Richard Nixon’s resignation and indicates Trump may begin his second term without these legal challenges. Despite the prosecution’s strength, the Justice Department adheres to a policy against charging a sitting president, and Trump’s spokesman called the dismissal a victory against perceived political weaponization of justice.
