Special counsel Jack Smith has officially ended federal cases against President Donald Trump.
The classified documents mishandling charges?
Gone.
What about the Jan. 6 conspiracy allegations?
That’s deleted, thanks to Judge Tanya Chutkan’s dismissal.
This legal plot twist wraps up cases that once accused President Trump of everything from national security breaches to undermining democracy.
So now, Trump’s slate is legally cleared.
And this just in time ahead of Thanksgiving!
Looks like his second term will start without interruptions. Well, at least not from Jack Smith and his crew.

NBC News reports:
WASHINGTON — Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday filed motions to drop all federal charges against President-elect Donald Trump regarding his mishandling of classified documents and his effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the lead-up to the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S Capitol.
Hours later, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan granted Smith’s motion to dismiss the Jan. 6-related indictment, formally bringing to an end the case that alleged Trump unlawfully conspired to overturn his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden.
Trump was first indicted in June 2023 in a federal court in Miami on 37 felony counts related to mishandling classified documents that he took from the White House to his Florida home. They included willful retention of national defense information, making false statements, and conspiracy to obstruct justice. A Florida judge dismissed the case, but Smith’s office had sought an appeal.
Trump was separately indicted on four felonies in August 2023 for his attempt to reverse the 2020 election results: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights.
Welp, looks like it’s over for them.
DA Alvin Bragg, AG Leticia James, DA Fani Willis, and Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, corrupted the Justice System. They were smug and confident that they had forever removed Donald Trump from being a threat to the Democratic Party. They embarrassed America, humiliated themselves,… pic.twitter.com/TZTY9hdhOp
