U.S. prosecutors have asked a judge to dismiss a federal case against Trump, citing longstanding DOJ policy not to prosecute sitting presidents and his return to office.
The DOJ has maintained that the Constitution forbids the federal indictment of a sitting President, a prohibition that does not depend on the seriousness of the charges.
This filing marks a significant shift by the special prosecutor, previously obtaining indictments against Trump for crimes linked to election integrity and national security.
The election interference case against Trump, accusing him of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election, is now seen as losing traction with his return to the White House.
