Special Counsel Dismisses Two Major Cases Against President-elect Trump | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Two major cases against President-elect Donald Trump have been dismissed. Special Counsel Jack Smith asked a federal judge to dismiss the cases today. The first involved election interference. Prosecutors accused Trump of being part of a criminal conspiracy to hold onto power after the 2020 election. The second was the case over classified documents. The president-elect's legal team is weighing in. Steven Cheung says on social media, "Today's decision ends the unconstitutional federal cases against President Trump and is a major victory for the rule of law." Former Trump Attorney and a former federal prosecutor, Jim Trusty, joins to share his reaction to the special counsel Jack Smith dropping the cases. Trusty tells us how significant this development is and what this means for President-elect Trump. While the case against the president-elect was dismissed, Jack Smith is still requesting that the appeal remain in place for two of Trump's employees who pleaded not guilty to obstruction charges. Trusty tells us more about that. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
