Summary
Special Counsel Jack Smith is in discussions with the Justice Department on how to conclude federal cases against President-elect Donald Trump, following DOJ policy that prohibits prosecuting a sitting president.
Trump, previously indicted for election interference and the unlawful retention of classified documents, has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
These prosecutions have been complicated by a recent Supreme Court ruling that grants presidents partial immunity from prosecution.
Additionally, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case, questioning the constitutionality of Smith’s appointment.
And you believe that Trump would not retaliate while in office, under the same official immunity?
You should put it all on the line before you ask the same of others.
