Trump Case Dismissed: Outrage Erupts Over Lack of Accountability
Federal prosecutors dismissed the two criminal cases against Donald Trump, citing Justice Department policy prohibiting the prosecution of a sitting president. This decision, spurred by Trump’s election victory, effectively ends the years-long legal battles initiated by Special Counsel Jack Smith. While the cases against Trump’s co-defendants may continue, the dismissal highlights Trump’s successful strategy of leveraging his presidential campaign to avoid prosecution. The decision was met with celebratory statements from Trump’s team, who cited the “political weaponization” of the justice system.
