Special counsel Jack Smith and other officials at the Justice Department are currently strategizing on how to bring an end to the federal prosecutions of former President Donald Trump. According to The Associated Press, they are considering their next steps in this complex legal matter.
It is important to note that historically, the Justice Department has maintained a policy that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted, nor can a sitting president issue a self-pardon. This policy has been a topic of debate and controversy, especially in light of recent events involving Trump.
As reported by JS, with Trump’s return to the White House, there is now a clear path for his federal cases to potentially be dropped. It appears that Smith’s actions may indicate that he is working towards resolving the situation without Trump having to take drastic measures, such as firing him as the former president had threatened to do.
Meanwhile, Trump’s legal team is currently focused on finding ways to delay his sentencing hearing for his 34-count felony fraud conviction, which is currently scheduled for November 26. This is a critical issue for Trump and his legal team, as the outcome of this hearing could have significant implications for his future.
This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Stay tuned for the latest developments in this ongoing legal saga.
