Trump Triumphs Again: U.S President Elect's ‘Deranged’ Prosecutor Jack Smith Drops Charges

U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed to drop federal charges against President-elect Donald Trump, reversing course on two high-profile cases.

Smith, who led the Justice Department’s efforts in election interference and classified documents cases, charged Trump in 2023 with four felony counts, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and obstruct an official proceeding.

Smith’s motion emphasizes that Justice Department policy prohibits criminal prosecution of a sitting president, regardless of the severity of the charges.Trump faced allegations of pressuring election officials to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory and inciting the January 6 Capitol riots.

Despite the dropped charges, the government maintains confidence in its evidence and legal merits.

Smith, who Trump has publicly criticized as “crooked” and a “lunatic,” is expected to resign before Trump’s January 2025 inauguration.

Meanwhile, Trump’s sentencing in a separate New York case has been postponed indefinitely, signaling further legal uncertainties ahead.

'Trump Would Have Been Convicted in Election Interference Case Had He Lost Election': Jack Smith

Special Counsel Jack Smith's report claims Donald Trump would have been convicted for election interference if he had not won the 2024 election. The 174-page report, submitted to Congress, argues that the Department of Justice's policy on presidential immunity prevented further prosecution. It highlights challenges faced in the investigation, including claims of political bias and witness intimidation. Trump’s response criticized Smith as biased, while the report's second volume, concerning classified documents, remains sealed. #JackSmith #ElectionInterference #TrumpConviction #DOJPolicy #PresidentialImmunity #CongressReport #WitnessIntimidation #LegalChallenges #ClassifiedDocuments #TrumpResponse #Oneindia #OneindiaNews Also Read Gaza Ceasefire Talks: Trump’s Role In Securing Peace And Ending 15-Month Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/gaza-ceasefire-talks-trump-s-role-in-securing-peace-and-ending-15-month-conflict-4041909.html?ref=DMDesc Los Angeles Wildfires Rage On: Santa Ana Winds Intensify Destruction, Death Toll Climbs :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/los-angeles-wildfires-rage-on-santa-ana-winds-intensify-destruction-death-toll-climbs-4041769.html?ref=DMDesc Will Prince William & Kate Attend Trump’s Inauguration?

Trump To Announce Mass Deportation Date On Jan 20? Large Scale Anti-immigration Raids Across U.S

Following Donald Trump's inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, the country is witnessing a wave of large-scale anti-immigration raids. According to reports, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have launched operations targeting undocumented immigrants across major cities, including New York, Miami, and Chicago. These raids have sparked widespread fear among migrant communities, who now face the threat of immediate deportation. The government is reportedly focusing on detaining individuals with previous criminal records or those in violation of immigration laws. With Trump vowing to intensify immigration enforcement, human rights groups have raised concerns over the potential for widespread detentions and the disruption of families. As the administration pushes for tougher immigration policies, the raid operations have heightened tensions and uncertainty among both legal and undocumented migrants nationwide. #TrumpDeportation #MassDeportation #TrumpInauguration2025 #TrumpPlan #DeportationDebate #TrumpSpeech2025 #TrumpInauguration #MassDeportations #TrumpImmigration #TrumpAmericaFirst #DeportationPlan #TrumpPolicies #TrumpAmerica #TrumpImmigrationReform #Inauguration2025 #TrumpLegacy ~PR.152~ED.102~HT.334~
