Prosecutors Move to Drop Classified Documents Case Against Trump's Co-Defendants
Briefly

Federal prosecutors have decided to withdraw their remaining efforts to prosecute President Trump's co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, in the classified documents case. This development follows Judge Aileen M. Cannon's ruling that dismissed all charges, asserting that special counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed. The appeal to reinstate charges was put before the 11th Circuit but was ultimately dropped due to changes in the Justice Department after Trump took office. The case's conclusion highlights the complexities surrounding legal actions involving a president and his associates.
