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.

    Fuck OFF with this bullshit. This isn’t fucking reddit, we don’t have fucking advertisers to answer to. This shit received 133 upvotes from the community and not a single downvote and you fucking remove it?

    Jesus christ I thought we left overzealous power mods and their stupid abuse on reddit.

    Not even a mention in the modlog about this removal either - that’s fucking slimy

      If they don’t remove calls for violence, they can risk going to prison.
      Also, it shows up in the mod log for me.
