Washington: A US judge has approved the dismissal of the election rebellion case against newly elected President Donald Trump.
According to US media, the judge approved the dismissal of the election rebellion case against Donald Trump by the prosecution, saying that the dismissal of the case at this time is appropriate because the president enjoys immunity. The immunity ends after leaving office. The election rebellion case can now possibly be revived after 4 years.
Under US Justice Department policy, no president can be prosecuted. After losing the election to Joe Biden in 2007, the newly elected 78-year-old US President Donald Trump was charged with conspiracy to change the election results and taking a large number of secret documents from the White House, but these cases never came to trial.
Donald Trump defeated Democratic rival Kamala Harris in the presidential election in November. After Trump’s victory, the lawyer requested a stay of proceedings in the election interference and classified documents cases.
Citing Justice Department policy, the lawyer said that no sitting president has ever been indicted or prosecuted. The administration’s position on prosecuting Donald Trump has not changed, but circumstances have changed.
