The conclusion of the criminal cases against Donald Trump raises significant issues regarding presidential immunity and the DOJ's authority to appoint special counsels for high-level misconduct.
The DOJ's longstanding stance suggests that the Constitution offers temporary immunity to sitting presidents, preventing prosecution that could hinder their official responsibilities.
As Mr. Trump assumes office, unresolved constitutional questions linger about the scope of protections for ex-presidents and the role of outside prosecutors in federal investigations.
While Jack Smith indicated the possibility of revisiting charges post-presidency, the expiration of the statute of limitations complicates any potential future legal accountability.
