US special counsel Jack Smith charged Trump with conspiring to overturn Joe Biden's victory four years ago, alleging that he committed fraud to remain in office.
In a six-page filing, he pointed out: "This outcome is not based on the merits or strength of the case against the defendant."
Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the case "without prejudice", meaning the charges could be refiled once Trump leaves office.
Trump was the first former president to face a criminal trial, and, in May, was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records.
