A federal judge has dismissed the case accusing Donald Trump of trying to overturn the 2020 election. Special prosecutor Jack Smith requested the dismissal, citing a policy that sitting presidents cannot face federal prosecution. The dismissal is "without prejudice," meaning charges could be refiled after Trump’s term ends. Trump, now president again after his 2024 win, called the cases against him political. Smith also seeks to drop the classified documents case, pending court approval. Other legal issues, including Georgia state charges, remain uncertain. Trump remains the first president to face criminal charges and conviction after leaving office.
