Summary
The judge in Donald Trump’s federal election interference case has paused proceedings, allowing special counsel Jack Smith until December 2 to determine how to proceed, likely the first step in ending the prosecution.
Following Trump’s election victory, the DOJ, which traditionally avoids prosecuting sitting presidents, is considering dropping this and a separate classified documents case.
Meanwhile, Trump faces ongoing state-level charges in New York and Georgia, though these cases may be delayed during his presidency.
Civil cases against Trump, including ones brought by New York AG Letitia James and E. Jean Carroll, will continue.
Getting elected to avoid being held accountable. Way to go USA.
It’s the Roman Republic all over again. A generation after Julius Caesar did the same, Rome was governed by an emperor.
