SPECIAL COUNSEL DROPS CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CASE AGAINST TRUMP

Read Time:21 Second

Special Counsel Jack Smith on Monday dropped the case against US President-elect Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House.

Smith said he was withdrawing his appeal of a ruling by a district judge, a Trump appointee, who dismissed the case earlier this year.

He said the move was being made under a long-standing Justice Department policy of not prosecuting a sitting president.
