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.
Security forces have released sketches of three suspected Pakistani terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in South Kashmir's Anantnag. The suspects—Asif Fauji, Suleman Shah, and Abu Talha—used code names in earlier strikes. The Lashkar-backed group “The Resistance Front” claimed responsibility. Pencil sketches, based on survivor accounts, show young men with sharp features. Global leaders, including President Trump, condemned the attack and extended support to India. PM Modi cut short his Saudi visit and returned for urgent national security meetings.

U.S- Iran War: United States may request Turkey to remain neutral and avoid interference in Syrian airspace if a conflict with Iran erupts, Hurriyet reports. The matter could be discussed during an upcoming meeting between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Donald Trump. Erdoğan is reportedly opposed to any Israeli aggression against Iran, calling it regionally destabilizing. Trump is expected to visit Turkey in May following trips to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. If not, Erdoğan may head to Washington in June for crucial bilateral talks focused on the Middle East.

President Trump’s Executive Order 14176 has declassified records tied to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. But only JFK’s files have been released so far. As speculation grows around the still-sealed MLK documents, historians and King’s family fear an orchestrated smear campaign under the guise of transparency. The files, linked to COINTELPRO-era surveillance, may contain damaging, decontextualized material. Scholars warn the release could distort public memory and weaponize intelligence files from a time when the FBI sought to discredit civil rights leaders.

President Trump has ignited controversy after stating undocumented immigrants should be deported without trials. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump claimed the court system can't handle the volume and falsely accused countries like Congo and Venezuela of dumping criminals into the U.S. His remarks challenge the Constitution’s guarantee of due process, drawing fierce backlash from lawmakers and legal experts. Critics are calling it "dictator talk," warning it could set a dangerous precedent. The Supreme Court has already pushed back against similar efforts, and the political fallout is growing fast.

Trump’s administration has referred New York AG Letitia James for criminal prosecution, alleging she committed mortgage fraud by misrepresenting her primary residence and falsely listing her father as her husband. The explosive claims come as James continues to pursue legal action against Trump. Critics call it poetic justice, pointing out James previously charged Trump for similar offenses. Legal experts say the documents appear “damning,” raising questions about whether James followed the same legal standards she holds others to. The DOJ has not yet responded.

The U.S. has approved a major arms shipment to Israel, including 3,000 bombs, signaling preparation not just for Gaza, but possibly a strike on Iran. Israeli officials confirmed that these munitions will enhance Air Force readiness for large-scale operations. While the Gaza offensive takes global attention, analysts warn the real showdown may be brewing with Tehran. This deal, once frozen under Biden, was fast-tracked by Trump. Experts say the munitions can also target hardened Iranian facilities—raising fresh concerns about regional escalation and U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran tensions.
