Jack Smith moves to dismiss January 6 charges against Donald Trump

Special Counsel Jack Smith has moved to drop charges against Donald Trump in the federal election.

The president-elect faced four charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election that led to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Smith asked U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan to dismiss the case without prejudice because of the policy barring the prosecution of a sitting president.

It ends a lengthy investigation that cost taxpayers millions and never came to trial.
