The real verdict on Donald Trump will be issued by the American people. That was the familiar rejoinder to those frustrated by the inability of the legal system to hold Trump accountable for the crimes he was charged with, against the American government and against its people. Instead of facing a jury of 12, Trump would face a jury of 160 million, give or take. It was the most democratic manner in which to handle this unique and imminent threat to democracy. Trump will spend the next four years (at least) as the most powerful man in the world and without fear of a federal indictment while in office.

CNN —Even before special counsel Jack Smith formally asked that his criminal cases against Donald Trump be dismissed, it was already guaranteed the president-elect would never see a jury. “I would fire him within two seconds.”In the end, though, Trump didn’t need to sack the special counsel to kill the two cases. Attorney General Merrick Garland is expected to publicly release it, as he has with past special counsel reports. What to do next in the case will be a question for the incoming Trump Justice Department. But a new chapter has already opened for several members of the Trump legal team who have already been rewarded with plum positions in his incoming administration.

In back-to-back filings on Monday, special counsel Jack Smith sought permission from federal judges to abandon both of his cases against President-elect Donald Trump. "The Department's position is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated," Smith wrote in relation to the election-interference case. "The American People re-elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate to Make America Great Again," Steven Cheung wrote in a press statement. "Today's decision by the DOJ ends the unconstitutional federal cases against President Trump, and is a major victory for the rule of law.

Shai Weiss, chief executive officer of Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd., on day two of the Farnborough International Airshow in Farnborough, UK, on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. LONDON – Virgin Atlantic CEO Shai Weiss on Monday said the U.K. Labour government's landmark October budget presented a "tax on growth" due to higher rates placed on the aviation industry. "I would call [the Budget] a tax on growth," Weiss said Monday, adding that while it was necessary to cover Britain's budget deficit, it was also important to recognize the contribution of aviation to the wider U.K. economy. For journeys between 2,001 and 5,500 miles, APD will rise to £102 from £90 in economy and to £244 from £216 in other classes. CNBC has contacted the U.K. Treasury for comment.

CNN —Special counsel Jack Smith is dropping the federal election subversion and the mishandling of classified documents cases against President-elect Donald Trump, seeking the cases’ dismissal in court filings Monday. Trump has said he would fire Smith once he retook the office, shattering previous norms around special counsel investigations. In the election case Trump faced in Washington, DC, Smith charged the former president over his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, a plot that culminated in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. “The Government’s position on the merits of the defendant’s prosecution has not changed,” Smith said in the filing. In the documents case brought in Florida, Trump was indicted for allegedly taking classified national defense documents from the White House after he left office and resisting the government’s attempts to retrieve the materials.

A Florida judge dismissed the case, but Smith's office had sought an appeal. But the circumstances have," the special counsel added. Now the same OLC opinion is preventing Smith's case from going forward. Following Trump's re-election, the special counsel's office was caught between "two fundamental and compelling national interests," Smith's team wrote. Special counsel regulations require Smith to file a report to the attorney general explaining his charging decisions before he steps down.

☆ End of Trump Cases Leaves Limits on Presidential Criminality Unclear
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-25 | by ( Charlie Savage | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Both cases against Mr. Trump — for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election and his later hoarding of classified government documents and obstruction of efforts to retrieve them — were short-circuited by the fact that he won the 2024 election before they could be definitively resolved. Jack Smith, the special counsel who brought both cases against Mr. Trump, asked courts on Monday to shut them down. The result is not just that Mr. Trump appears set to escape any criminal accountability for his actions. (Mr. Smith left the door open to, in theory, refiling the charges after Mr. Trump leaves office, but the statute of limitations is likely to have run by then.) It also means that two open constitutional questions the cases have raised appear likely to go without definitive answers as Mr. Trump takes office.

[END TAPE]KRISTEN WELKER:According to the Washington Post, President-elect Trump plans to fire the team that worked with the special counsel. So, I think President Trump is picking reformers for these Cabinet positions. After the midterms Joe Biden said that there was no way President Trump would ever be back in the White House. He's going to sign some executive actions, but he's also going to then begin to roll out this plan. I also think he's going to face some skepticism by Republicans on using the military, for instance, going kind of into different states.

Despite receiving complaints of exploitation from students, Bondi and then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris both declined to join the investigation.

The U.S. economy recovered from the pandemic with greater strength than any of its peers. Unemployment stayed below 4 percent for the longest stretch since the 1960s, and remains low.
