The judge in the case against Donald Trump for illegal attempts to annul the results of the 2020 election validated on Monday the request of the special prosecutor Jack Smith to stop the proceedings against the one who is now the president-elect of the USA, reports AFP.
Judge Tanya Chutkan approved this recommendation made by Jack Smith, which thus complies with a policy adopted more than 50 years ago by the Department of Justice, consisting of not indicting a sitting president and applied in this “unprecedented” situation “.
Although the current case of a candidate being prosecuted and then elected president is “unprecedented,” following deliberations with the special counsel’s office, the Justice Department concluded that this policy “applies to the present situation,” Smith explained.
