U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has formally terminated Federal lawsuits against former President Donald Trump, which is headed by Special Counsel Jack Smith after Months of widely reported court cases involving allegations of election meddling and sensitive document exposure culminated in this surprising ruling.
With this ruling, Trump's legal battles have taken a historic turn, changing the political and judicial discourse in the United States.
There are a number of reasons why the U.S Department of Justice (DOJ) decided to withdraw these well-known cases.
First and foremost, it is against long-standing DOJ policy to bring charges against a sitting president, even if they are charged with federal offenses.
Jack Smith ended the lawsuits in order to maintain the stability of executive office procedures and prevent undermining the new government, largely due to U.S Department of Justice (DOJ) policy and legal precedent, especially because Donald Trump is now once again the president-elect.
A broader assessment of public opinion and the possibility of a sharply divided electorate may also be evident in Jack Smith’s decision to abandon these lawsuits.
According to sources, the U.S Department of Justice wants to protect itself from charges of political discrimination, which might widen party differences in a politically volatile environment.
In pursuing these prosecutions, the U.S Department of Justice has encountered many logistical and legal challenges. Jack Smith and his group have devoted a lot of time and money, especially to the case involving classified information.
However, maintaining these cases has become more difficult due to the appearance of new legal obstacles, such as possible restrictions on executive responsibility.

Law experts also believe that the U.S department of Justice reasons was influenced by the recent Supreme Court decision that gave Trump “significant immunity.” This ruling reduces the number of violations for which a former president may be held accountable, especially those that are thought to be connected to official duties.
These legal protections are likely to shape future cases like this one, setting a new benchmark for the prosecution of former presidents in federal courts.
