Prosecutors for Donald Trump expressed the need for additional time to evaluate the implications of his recent presidential victory on ongoing cases related to the 2020 election.
Special Counsel Jack Smith previously charged Trump with attempting to overturn the 2020 election results and mishandling classified documents, but Trump's election complicates potential legal proceedings.
There is a longstanding Justice Department policy indicating that sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted, leaving legal experts questioning the future of Trump's federal cases after his election.
In light of Trump’s election win, special prosecutors outlined a timeline regarding deliberations over how to proceed with criminal charges, indicating the complexity of the situation.
