As Fox News reported:

Special Counsel Jack Smith is asking a judge to drop all charges against President-elect Donald Trump stemming from Smith’s investigation into the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol breach, Fox News Digital has learned.

Judge Tanya Chutkan will need to approve the request before the case is dismissed.

After Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election earlier this month, Smith signaled he would begin winding down the case against Trump. The filing went live on the Department of Justice docket on Monday afternoon.

Smith had already filed a motion to vacate all deadlines in the 2020 election interference case against Trump in Washington, D.C. – a widely expected move, but one that stopped short of dropping the case against Trump completely. Smith had said his team planned to give an updated report on the official status of the case against Trump on Dec. 2.

Will Jack Smith reimburse taxpayers for the millions wasted on this bogus witch hunt he just dropped?
Asking for America. 🤔

The Trump team has already responded to the news, as Deadline reported:

With Trump having threatened to fire Smith ASAP on January 20, 2025, Monday’s move in the bitterly contested case is a clear winner for the 45th and soon-to-be 47th POTUS as he consolidates power.

And he knows it.

“The American People re-elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate to Make America Great Again. Today’s decision by the DOJ ends the unconstitutional federal cases against President Trump and is a major victory for the rule of law,” Trump Communications Director Steven Cheung told Deadline this morning. “The American People and President Trump want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and we look forward to uniting our country.”
