Trump Triumphs Again: U.S President Elect's ‘Deranged’ Prosecutor Jack Smith Drops Charges
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.
Panama's President, Jose Raul Mulino, has firmly rejected US President-elect Donald Trump's demand to reclaim control over the Panama Canal, calling it a non-negotiable issue. Mulino emphasized the waterway's significance as part of Panama's national heritage, with its sovereignty never up for debate. Trump had criticized the canal fees and raised concerns over Chinese influence, but Panama stands firm in its control over the strategic waterway. As tensions rise, this clash highlights ongoing geopolitical challenges surrounding the canal's ownership.

Elon Musk has backed the idea that President-elect Donald Trump should have the authority to fire any official in the executive branch, excluding the vice president. This notion was voiced by Utah Senator Mike Lee, who believes the president should be able to remove any employee at any time for any reason. The discussion arose amidst reports of Trump's plans to make unconventional personnel changes, including firing officials with fixed terms like the FBI Director and IRS Commissioner, positions that traditionally remain unchanged during transitions. Experts note that while uncommon, the president holds the legal power to make such changes.

Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, calling it a “miscarriage of justice.” Trump questioned whether the pardon would extend to individuals detained in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot, who have been imprisoned for years. The pardon covers Hunter Biden’s felony convictions for tax evasion and purchasing a gun while lying about drug use. The move, which follows a previous denial by Biden, has sparked a heated debate, particularly as Biden had ruled out such a decision earlier. Trump’s comments emphasize the political nature of the pardon and highlight ongoing concerns about the legal implications of the January 6 riot.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.
