Summary
Special Counsel Jack Smith is in discussions with the Justice Department on how to conclude federal cases against President-elect Donald Trump, following DOJ policy that prohibits prosecuting a sitting president.
Trump, previously indicted for election interference and the unlawful retention of classified documents, has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
These prosecutions have been complicated by a recent Supreme Court ruling that grants presidents partial immunity from prosecution.
Additionally, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case, questioning the constitutionality of Smith’s appointment.
Non American here, but we’ve seen how things unfolded when something parallel-ly similar happened. I think its time for Americans to see that just like any other nations that their leaders talk about “we need to remove them because they’re corrupt and they’re impeachable in their own country”. I think Americans on whatever ends need to realise that morals have bottomed out, and what they have is a legal system, not justice system.
