Special counsel Jack Smith has moved to have the federal election subversion charges against Donald Trump dropped.
The president-elect was facing four charges in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 election that led to the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
Smith asked U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan to dismiss the case without prejudice because of policy prohibiting prosecuting a sitting president.
It ends a lengthy investigation that cost taxpayers millions and never made it to trial.
