The Justice Department's decision to close criminal cases against Donald Trump preemptively, before his inauguration, acknowledges the likelihood that charges would be dropped under a new administration.
Legal analysts suggest that halting the prosecutions reflects a broader understanding that pursuing Trump legally could set contentious precedents, particularly regarding special counsel appointments.
As the criminal cases wind down, there is a concern about not challenging the dismissal of the classified documents case, which could jeopardize future special counsel operations.
Trump's 2022 presidential launch was overshadowed by ongoing special counsel investigations into his handling of classified materials and attempts to question the 2020 election results.
