Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Federal Charges Against Trump Dropped, Could Be Refiled Later
Caption:
Federal Charges Against Trump Dropped, Could Be Refiled Later. A federal judge has dismissed a major case against Donald Trump, which accused him of attempting to overturn the 2020 election. Special prosecutor Jack Smith requested the dismissal, citing a Justice Department policy that prevents the prosecution of a sitting president. Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the charges "without prejudice," meaning they could be refiled after Trump’s second term. Smith also requested the dismissal of a separate case alleging Trump mishandled classified documents, with Trump pleading not guilty in both cases. Smith emphasized the decision wasn’t based on the strength of the evidence but on constitutional limits regarding presidential prosecution. Trump, who previously faced nearly 100 charges across multiple cases, has seen most dropped following his re-election. A Georgia state case against him remains on hold.
