Special Counsel Jack Smith's office is winding down its work relating to the federal criminal charges against former President Donald Trump following Trump's victory in the 2024 election.
Chuck Rosenberg, a former prosecutor, described the decision to wind down Smith's office as "sensible, inevitable and unfortunate," reflecting on the implications of the DOJ's policy on prosecuting sitting presidents.
Smith's office brought two significant cases against Trump, one involving the alleged illegal removal of classified documents from the White House, and another focused on Trump's actions during the January 6 Capitol attack.
Despite attempts by Trump's legal team to delay proceedings and seek Supreme Court review, Smith was preparing to appeal the dismissal of charges by a Trump-appointed judge.
