Summary
Senator Lindsey Graham urged special counsel Jack Smith to end his legal cases against Donald Trump after Trump’s projected 2024 presidential victory.
Graham criticized the charges as “politically motivated” and claimed the American public was tired of “lawfare.”
Smith, appointed in 2022, had charged Trump over classified documents and his role in the January 6 Capitol attack. The Supreme Court’s recent decision limiting prosecution scope bolstered Trump’s legal position.
Trump, convicted in a separate case involving business record falsification, has indicated plans to dismiss Smith upon taking office in January.
This is the worst part of it all. Trump will serve 4 more years (and hopefully not a day longer) and retire blissfully. He’s getting away with everything scot-free.
