U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed to drop federal charges against President-elect Donald Trump, reversing course on two high-profile cases. Smith, who led the Justice Department’s efforts in election interference and classified documents cases, charged Trump in 2023 with four felony counts, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and obstruct an official proceeding. Smith’s motion emphasizes that Justice Department policy prohibits criminal prosecution of a sitting president, regardless of the severity of the charges.Trump faced allegations of pressuring election officials to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory and inciting the January 6 Capitol riots. Despite the dropped charges, the government maintains confidence in its evidence and legal merits. Smith, who Trump has publicly criticized as “crooked” and a “lunatic,” is expected to resign before Trump’s January 2025 inauguration. Meanwhile, Trump’s sentencing in a separate New York case has been postponed indefinitely, signaling further legal uncertainties ahead.

In the Maharashtra elections, the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is emerging as a strong winner. Despite the heated debate around the Dharavi issue and Adani's involvement, these topics did not resonate with voters. High-profile leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Uddhav Thackeray, and Aditya Thackeray raised various allegations, but these issues failed to sway the electorate in the way they were expected to. With the Mahayuti securing a significant victory, the political landscape of Maharashtra remains firmly in the hands of the BJP and its allies.
