A judge in the United States has dismissed the criminal case accusing President elect Donald Trump of attempting to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election.
Earlier, the special counsel, Jack Smith, had formally applied for the case to be dropped because of a long standing policy by the Justice Department that bars the prosecution of a sitting president.
Mr.
Smith also said that he would not pursue charges accusing the former president of mishandling documents.
After leaving the White House, we heard more from our North America correspondent, Gary O'Donohue in Washington.
This is all the federal criminal charges faced by Donald Trump that the special counsel is asking the courts to drop.
And there's a simple reason for that, which is that there's a long standing legal opinion from the Office of Legal Counsel inside the Department of Justice which says you can't indict or try a sitting president.
And now that Donald Trump has won the presidential election and will become president on January 20th, that would simply have to be put off until 2029.
Now, the special counsel says that this is nothing to do with the merits of the case or the gravity of the charges against Mr.
Trump.
