Is it for good? The high-profile case against Trump has been closed in the U.S.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan granted the request of Special Prosecutor Jack Smith to dismiss the criminal case against newly elected president Donald Trump. He was accused of conspiring to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Thus, the court will allow the government to close this case. This was reported by The Hill, citing Chutkan's statements.

It is noted that although the case has been dismissed without any conditions, there remains a theoretical possibility that the government could refile charges after Trump leaves office.

However, the two-page conclusion officially marks the end of the historic indictment issued last year, in which Trump faced four felony charges related to his attempts to overturn his defeat to President Biden.

On the same day, Smith decided to terminate both criminal cases against Trump in accordance with the Justice Department's policy prohibiting the prosecution of a sitting president. He also requested to withdraw his appeal to revive the prosecution in Florida, where Trump is accused of mishandling classified documents.

CNN writes that Donald Trump has promised to fire Smith as soon as he takes office as president. Reports indicate that Smith plans to resign next year.

Recall that earlier, "The Telegraph" reported that in February 2024, the court "lifted immunity" from Trump in the Capitol riot case. He has the same rights as any other individual accused of a criminal offense.
