The decision by Special Counsel Jack Smith to dismiss the charges against Trump reflects a longstanding Justice Department policy that prohibits prosecuting sitting presidents.
Smith's team emphasized that the move to abandon the prosecutions was not a reflection on the merits of the cases but was due to department policy.
The outcome ensures Trump enters office free from scrutiny over allegations of hoarding classified documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
This dismissal marks the end of federal efforts against Trump post-Victory, showcasing the intersection of legal challenges and presidential authority.
