Washington:
An pguides court on Tuesday granted a seek by prosecutors to drop the case agetst US Plivent-elect Donald Trump for mishandling classified write downs.
Special Counsel Jack Smith had asked the court on Monday to diswatch the case because of a lengthy-standing Justice Department policy of not prosecuting a sitting plivent.
A Trump-nominateed diinnervous court appraise in Florida threw out the write downs case earlier this year, but Smith had pguideed the ruling to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The pguides court granted Smith’s seek to diswatch the case without comment.
Smith is continuing, however, to trail the case agetst Trump’s two co-deffinishants, his valet, Walt Nauta, and Mar-a-Lago property handler Carlos De Oliveira.
Trump, 78, was accused of removing big quantities of top secret write downs after leaving the White House at the finish of his first term and obstructing efforts to recover them.
The createer plivent was also accused by the exceptional direct of conspiring to clearurn the results of the 2020 election won by Joe Biden. A appraise on Monday granted a seek by Smith to drop that case.
The exceptional direct paused both federal cases this month after Trump flunkureed Vice Plivent Kamala Harris in the November 5 plivential election.
The createer and incoming plivent also faces two state cases — in New York and Georgia.
He was convicted in New York in May of 34 counts of falsifying business write downs to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election to stop her from discdiswatching an alleged 2006 relationsual greet.
Judge Juan Merchan has deferd sentencing while he ponders a seek from Trump’s lawyers that the conviction be thrown out in airy of the Supreme Court ruling in July that an ex-plivent has wide immunity from prosecution.
In Georgia, Trump faces extortion indicts over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results in the southern state, but that case will probable be frozen while he is in office.
