Back to the topic:
Donald Trump's criminal prosecution for election subversion and mishandling documents to be discontinued
"US prosecutors have decided to drop two criminal cases against president-elect Donald Trump.
"Special prosecutor Jack Smith has told courts in Washington DC and Florida he is discontinuing the cases, which related to alleged election interference and mishandling of classified documents.
"In a motion filed in Washington, he cited a longstanding Department of Justice (DOJ) policy not to prosecute a sitting president.
"'The government's position on the merits of the defendant’s prosecution has not changed,' the motion says."
