DOJ Drops Trump Co-Defendant Cases: Outrage Over Lack of Accountability
The Justice Department has ended its appeal of the dismissal of charges against Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, two co-defendants in the classified documents case against Donald Trump. This decision, aligning with the co-defendants’ wishes, effectively concludes the criminal cases against all three men. A federal judge previously dismissed the charges, ruling that the special counsel’s appointment was unconstitutional. The DOJ’s action follows the dropping of charges against Trump himself after his election victory.
