Special Counsel Smith seeks to dismiss Jan. 6 charges against Trump
Fox News
Special Counsel Jack Smith has dropped all charges against President-elect Donald Trump stemming from Smith's investigation into the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol breach.
After Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election earlier this month, Smith signaled he would begin winding down the case against Trump. The filing went live on the Department of Justice docket on Monday afternoon. Brooke Singman is a political correspondent and reporter for Fox News Digital, Fox News Channel and FOX Business.
Smith had already filed a motion to vacate all deadlines in the 2020 election interference case against Trump in Washington, D.C. – a widely expected move, but one that stopped short of dropping the case against Trump completely. Smith had said his team planned to give an updated report on the official status of the case against Trump on Dec. 2.
