The two federal criminal cases against Donald Trump are likely to be wound down before he gets into the White House, according to reports hours after his crushing election victory over Kamala Harris.
Special Counsel Jack Smith is in talks with the Justice Department to end the January 6 and classified documents prosecutions, NBC News reported.
The move would confirm the DOJ is sticking with the precedent that no sitting president can be prosecuted.
It’s an enormous blow for Smith who ramped up the cases in the final months of the campaigns and has spent almost three years and more than $35million in taxpayer funds trying to bring the 78-year-old to trial.
Trump still faces sentencing in the New York hush money trial next month and the election interference case in Georgia headed by District Attorney Fani Wills has been beset by a slew of problems.
