A court has dismissed the charges against Donald Trump regarding interference in the 2020 elections.

The newly elected president of the United States is also expected to have charges related to the unlawful retention of classified documents dropped.
Суд снял обвинения с Дональда Трампа в вмешательстве в выборы 2020 года.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan granted the request of Special Prosecutor Jack Smith from the U.S. Department of Justice to dismiss the case against elected President Donald Trump concerning conspiracy to undermine the results of the 2020 election. This was made possible by Trump's victory in this year's presidential elections, reported The Hill on Monday, November 25.

Consequently, the court will allow the government to close this case. The Hill notes that this case was dismissed without any reservations; however, there is a possibility that the government may refile charges against Trump after his presidential term concludes.

Currently, the court's decision has officially ended the legal proceedings against Trump regarding four criminal charges related to his attempts to alter the results of the 2020 presidential election. These actions notably resulted in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Previously, Special Prosecutor Jack Smith decided to terminate both of his criminal cases against Donald Trump in accordance with the U.S. Department of Justice's policy against prosecuting a sitting president.

The prosecutor also requested to withdraw his appeal regarding the reinstatement of criminal charges in Florida, where Donald Trump is accused of unlawfully retaining classified documents. It is expected that the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals will soon grant this request.

Additionally, on November 22, a New York court postponed for the third time the announcement of the verdict for elected President Donald Trump in the case involving the hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Trump's attorneys called this a definitive victory.
