US judge dismisses 2020 election fraud, stolen classified documents cases against Donald Trump

New Indian Express  

WASHINGTON: A US federal judge overseeing the case that alleged former president Donald illegally sought to overturn the 2020 election, has agreed to dismiss the charges following a request from special counsel Jack Smith, local media reported. Smith also told a US court of appeals that the special prosecutors are withdrawing their challenge against an earlier dismissial of the case regarding the illegal handling and retention of hundreds of classified documents at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. Smith first asked US District Judge Tanya Chutkan on Monday to dismiss the charges against Trump for allegedly trying to block Joe Biden's 2020 victory, saying that he "stands fully behind" the allegations but that Justice Department guidelines made clear the case could not go forward as per the Washington Post. The US broadcaster's report further said that Trump is still working to stave off prosecution in Georgia, where he is a defendant in a sprawling case that accuses him and several allies of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss in the Peach State.
