Special Counsel Jack Smith Winds Down Cases Against Trump, Who May Also Avoid NY and GA Trials

HeadlineNov 07, 2024

Special counsel Jack Smith is reportedly preparing to wind down his two federal criminal cases against Donald Trump, in line with Justice Department policy that shields a sitting president from prosecution. Smith charged Trump with election subversion and illegally retaining classified documents. During campaigning, Trump said he would fire Smith “within two seconds” if he was reelected.

Meanwhile, Trump’s lawyers are expected to ask New York Judge Juan Merchan to delay sentencing in Trump’s New York hush money and election interference trial. Trump’s sentencing on 34 felony counts was postponed earlier this year to November 26. Georgia’s sweeping election subversion case against Trump is also at risk of being delayed due to his reelection.
